Nginx – Installing SSL certs with nginx on Amazon EC2

I finally got a cert from an authority and am struggling to get things working. I've created the appropriate combined certificate (personal + intermediate + root) and nginx is pointing to it. I got an elastic IP and connected it to my EC2 instance. My DNS records point to that IP. But when I point the browser to the hostname, I get the standard "Connection Untrusted" bit, with ssl_error_bad_cert_domain. Port 443 is open – I can get to the site over https if I ignore the warning. Weird thing is, under technical details, it lists the domain I tried to access as valid!

When I try and diagnose with ssl testing sites, they don't even detect a certificate!

What am I missing here?

domain is yanlj.coinculture.info. Note I've got coinculture.info running on a home server without a dedicated IP and have the same problem, but I'll be moving that to the same EC2 instance as soon as I figure this thing out. I thought the elastic IP would solve things but it hasn't

Nginx config:

server {
  listen 443;
  server_name localhost;

  ssl                  on;
  ssl_certificate      /home/ubuntu/certs/startssl/ssl-unified.crt;
  ssl_certificate_key  /home/ubuntu/certs/startssl/ssl.key;

  keepalive_timeout    70;

  #ssl_session_timeout  5m;

  ssl_protocols  SSLv2 SSLv3 TLSv1;
 #ssl_ciphers  HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
 #ssl_prefer_server_ciphers   on;

  root /home/ubuntu/programming/YanlJ;
  index index.php index.html;

      location / {
        #try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;  # this line was causing the index.php file to be loaded twice...
      }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
                # NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini

                # With php5-cgi alone:
                #fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
                # With php5-fpm:
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                include fastcgi.conf;
        }

  try_files $uri $uri.php $uri.html =404;
}

and results of curl -kv https:// ELASTIC_IP:
