Cause

私钥有密码要求，但 NGINX 未配置为使用密码。 

Resolution

以下步骤在没有密码要求的情况下创建私钥文件：

  1. 将现有server.key文件名重命名为 server_pass.key。 
    mv server.key server_pass.key
 
 
  1. 在没有密码要求的情况下创建新密钥。假定 RSA 密钥正在使用中，否则请相应地调整命令。出现提示时，键入密码，然后按 Enter 键。 
    openssl rsa -in server_pass.key -out server.key
 
  1. 停止和启动 NGINX 服务，并检查是否没有显示错误消息： 
    service nginx stop
service nginx start
service nginx status
 
  1. 转到搜索主页。检查是否显示了正确的 SSL 证书信息。
