Common Mistakes

Using the private key file path for ssl_certificate.

Forgetting to add http2 in listen directive.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up certificate and key file paths.

Omitting http2 in the listen directive.

Using 'default_server' instead of 'http2'.

To enable HTTP/2, add http2 to the listen directive. The ssl_certificate needs the certificate file, and ssl_certificate_key needs the private key file.
