What is complex on doing it?
On apache and no control panel I have a hard time. But then again it is my first time.
So, if you don't want to learn....
Is a thing of 5 minutes.

I do want to learn but I have tried over 15 times. But to no success.
Maybe if you post what is happening someone can help you.
There are a ton of howtos online on doing it manually. In fact, I much prefer doing it manually than for instance doing it through cPanel which can be a real pain in the ass sometimes.
cpanel is a pain with SSL?
Is it? Ill give that a try since me and apache are having our issues
Pay somebody.
Yes, it's really fast and easy to install SSL on nginx config file Here is my config, just replace server_name and ssl_certificate, ssl_certificate_key with yours to get it work
Yep, this is the "bestest" way LOL.
Remember to include the intermediate certificate! Otherwise Firefox throws some nasty warnings.
Also, looking at @giang's config, disable SSLv2 and some of the weak cyphers if you're handling any financial transactions for PCI compliance.
Here's my SSL section of the nginx config I use
well maybe not really a pain; I usually will do it through WHM, and when updating a current cert, it often auto-pulls-in the wrong key, even if you've already pasted in the correct key, it will often overwrite it with an incorrect previous key etc; you just have to be sure at the very end before you submit that you've got the correct key in there...
@PytoHost you run a hosting company and you don't know how to install a certificate? How old are you?
@ElliotJ
We really need the last lines? :P
(session timeout and so)
Its not something that I do daily. I have done it multiple times in WHM/cPanel but never manual. No need to. Im sure your not an expert at everything either. And just to answer your last question 28
Damn, hosting companies and their reliance on control panels. :L
Not all
