Nginx Not Logging https / :443 Requests

Question

I am in the process of trying to configure a Server with https and for some reason it seems the requests are not hitting nginx at all. I have everything working properly but once I go to enable ssl it gives me an will not accept any requests on port 443 (connection timeout). Does anyone know how I can begin to debug this issue? I am using all of the same logic I have used on previous servers.

Nginx.conf:

user  nginx;
worker_processes  1;

error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;
pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;


events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}


http {
    port_in_redirect off;
    include       /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
                      '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
                      '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log  main;

    sendfile        on;
    #tcp_nopush     on;

    keepalive_timeout  65;

    #gzip  on;

    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}

domain.conf in conf.d:

   server {
  listen 80;      
  server_name domain.com;
  location / {
    rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;   
  }
}                  

server {         
  listen 443; 
  server_name domain.com;
  root /var/www/;
  ssl on;
  ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/domain.com.combinded.crt;
  ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/domain.com.key;
  index index.html index.htm index.php;

On your location ~ \.php$ block, please include the following line, if it doesn't already exist in fastcgi_params file...

fastcgi_param HTTPS on;
