NGINX SSL Timeout - ssl

Question

Runnning NGINX SSL and the browser continues to timeout.
Here is my NGINX conf file:
worker_processes 4;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
use epoll;
}
http {
proxy_next_upstream error;
charset utf-8;
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
keepalive_timeout 65;
keepalive_requests 0;
proxy_read_timeout 200;
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
tcp_nodelay on;
gzip on;
gzip_min_length 1000;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_types text/plain text/css text/xml
application/x-javascript application/xml
application/atom+xml text/javascript;
server{
### WEB Address ###
server_name mydomain.com;
### SSL log files ###
access_log /var/log/nginx/ssl-access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/ssl-error.log;
listen 443;
### SSL Certificates ###
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/unified.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl.key;
keepalive_timeout 60;
### PROXY TO TORNADO ###
location / {
proxy_pass_header Server;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8889;
}
}
}
The SSL access log and error log is blank.
I've tried restarting NGINX a couple of times. As a side note commenting out SSL and setting listen to 80 works for non-SSL connections.
Any help would be great?

Answer 1

Maybe 443 port is closed on your server? Check this with http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

Answer 2

I agree with Klen´s answer, and I would add more.
First, go and check that your port 443 is open in http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/
If it´s closed, go to your aws console, select your instance and go to description -> security groups -> launch_wizard-1
Then click on edit -> Add Rule
Select HTTPS from the options and you should see this

Answer 3

There are several things to check out
#1: Check if https is allowed in your ubuntu server
sudo ufw allow https && sudo ufw enable
#2: Check if port 443 is opened

Answer 4

First i checked what is listening on port 443 by this command:
lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -P
I saw nginx which was correct
Then i checked whether the 443 is opened by the tool mentioned by klen (http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/)
Port 443 was closed so I had to run
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
to open port 443
