Rails 3 with HTTPS and SSL is not working (only showing default page of nginx) -

configuring rails 3 nginx use https , ssl not working. shows nginx's default page(the page text --> welcome nginx!)

i have written config.force_ssl = true in application.rb

my nginx's config file follows

# server {     #listen   80; ## listen ipv4; line default , implied     #listen   [::]:80 default ipv6only=on; ## listen ipv6      # root /usr/share/nginx/www;     # index index.html index.htm;      # make site accessible http://localhost/     # server_name localhost;      # location / {         # first attempt serve request file,         # directory, fall index.html         # try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;         # uncomment enable naxsi on location         # include /etc/nginx/naxsi.rules     # }      # location /doc/ {         # alias /usr/share/doc/;         # autoindex on;         # allow 127.0.0.1;         # deny all;     # }      # nginx-naxsi : process denied requests     #location /requestdenied {         # example, return error code         #return 418;     #}      #error_page 404 /404.html;      # redirect server error pages static page /50x.html     #     #error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;     #location = /50x.html {     #   root /usr/share/nginx/www;     #}      # pass php scripts fastcgi server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000     #     #location ~ \.php$ {     #   fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;     #   # note: should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini     #     #   # php5-cgi alone:     #   fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;     #   # php5-fpm:     #   fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;     #   fastcgi_index index.php;     #   include fastcgi_params;     #}      # deny access .htaccess files, if apache's document root     # concurs nginx's 1     #     #location ~ /\.ht {     #   deny all;     #} #}   # virtual host using mix of ip-, name-, , port-based configuration # #server { #   listen 8000; #   listen somename:8080; #   server_name somename alias another.alias; #   root html; #   index index.html index.htm; # #   location / { #       try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; #   } #}   # https server  server {     listen 443;     server_name localhost;      root /usr/share/nginx/www;     index index.html index.htm;      ssl on;     ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/server.crt;     ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/server.key;      ssl_session_timeout 5m;      ssl_protocols sslv3 tlsv1;     ssl_ciphers all:!adh:!export56:rc4+rsa:+high:+medium:+low:+sslv3:+exp;     ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;      location / {         try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;     }      location /doc/ {         alias /usr/share/doc/;         autoindex on;         allow 127.0.0.1;         deny all;     } } 

edit:

my site working fine before change(without https)

the steps followed were

1. add config.force_ssl = true in application.rb

2. sudo cp /etc/nginx/sites-available/default /etc/nginx/sites-available/example

3. changed /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/example shown above

4. sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/example /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/example

5. sudo service nginx restart

it's not ssl's fault. did not setup nginx correctly.

nginx proxy , must pass request rails app.

location / {   proxy_set_header host $host;   proxy_set_header x-forwarded-for $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;   proxy_set_header x-forwarded-proto https;   proxy_redirect off;   proxy_pass http://localhost:3000; }
