Chrome error: 'ERR_SPDY_PROTOCOL_ERROR

-t says line of ssl_cipher has some issues (basically i had copied the above mentioned ciphers to my ssl.conf and post that nginx would not start)…

please remove the one on ssl.conf and place the ssl_cipher only on nginx.conf

Same error caused to me.

And I replace ssl_cipher with this one

ssl_ciphers 'ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH';

and problem resolved.

I had one of my sites suddenly go down with a SPDY_PROTOCOL_ERROR, all my other sites were operational so I knew 100% it was nothing to do with any certificate problem.

I eventually traced it to a permissions problem with the location for the nginx fastcgi cache. A simple chown -R www-data:www-data on the /var/cache/nginx folder resolved it for me immediately. Hopefully this may help someone in future.

Hi, Mahendra meghwal Your suggestion really working for me. I find that mostly it is happen due to cookies and also Antivirus. I found also a good site where you can find right fixes. Thanks

HTTP/2 has a huge blacklist of old and insecure ciphers, so we must avoid them. Try the following configuration, it works for me (EasyEngine v3.8.1 / Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)

ssl_ciphers EECDH+CHACHA20:EECDH+AES128:RSA+AES128:EECDH+AES256:RSA+AES256:EECDH+3DES:RSA+3DES:!MD5;
