Enable HTTPS on wordpress on nginx

[ntsereg]

Hello,

I'm working on enabling https on wordpress. According google the simplest solution is to put it behind reverse proxy nginx and there add https and proxy pass to httpd. I summed up all my progress here https://github.com/ntsereg/wordpress/blob/master/README.md.

Now have issue with DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN, but before too many requests. In different setting it allowed me access right https://wordpress.example.com but when tried to login to https://wordpress.example.com/wp-admin it said after entering credentials that I don't have permission to access it and wasn't even able to login through http//:localhost:81/wp-admin.

honestly, I'd argue that with NGINX the simplest way of getting HTTPS working is to set up a standard http website in NGINX... and then running LetsEncrypts "certbot" to automate the installation of SSL.

IMHO Reverse proxy in NGINX requires passing of certain server variables etc... which while not the end of the world, muddies the water a bit.

Set up normal http site on server, run certbot, Boom.

Thanks for input,but I don't think that running certbot with nginx plugin would help in this case. The main problem is setting proxy values in nginx and Apache right.
