The purpose of the second command in your paste there is to output a decrypted key which doesn't require a passcode (thus also why you lock down the file permission as well).

I'll investigate and post any result here, in case it helps anyone else. Actually, thinking about this – the prompt might be being suppressed due to the upstart script that I’m using to start nginx.

If Nginx doesn't ask and you set a passphrase on the key, double check to see if you're actually getting a padlock on your site and that it is correct information.

Brilliant work.I'm not sure why - but nginx didn't actually ask me for the passphrase. Do you know whether removing the passphrase a security issue worth worrying about?
