title: Enable HTTPS self signed cert for GitLab Community Edition for Ominbus installer
body: <p>I have an Omnibus gitlab installer. I am trying to setup an HTTPS url with self signed cert. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 as my Host OS. The steps im following are:</p>
  
  <p><strong>Modified gitlab.rb</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>external_url 'https://gitlab.example.com'
  nginx['redirect_http_to_https'] = true
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Create Self signed cert with proper name and place it under /etc/gitlab/ssl with permission 600</p>
  
  <pre><code>-rw------- 1 root root 1289 Sep 5 08:38 gitlab.example.com.crt
  -rw------- 1 root root 1679 Sep 5 08:38 gitlab.example.com.key
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I did gitlab-reconfigure and restart.</p>
  
  <p>So when i try the new URL: <code>https://gitlab.example.com</code> the page doesn't load.</p>
  
  <p>The port 443 is open by default and i am able to netcap the same.</p>
  
  <p>I am following this blog for setup - <a href="http://www.bonusbits.com/wiki/HowTo:Setup_HTTPS_for_Gitlab" rel="nofollow">GitLab HTTPS with selfsigned</a></p>
  
  <p>I dont see any errors under /var/log/gitlab</p>
  
  <p>Is there any additional nginx config required for self signed cert?</p>
  
  <p>Can someone please let me know what logs I should be looking for and am i missing any steps.?</p>
