invalid number of arguments in "ssl_certificate_key" directive in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/defaul

Question

I have got my EV SSL Certificate. I am following tutorials on how to use my certificate with NGINX on Ubuntu

When I am trying to restart my nginx, I get:

**invalid number of arguments in "ssl_certificate_key" directive in   /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default 

What I did so far:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default   upstream app { # Path to Unicorn SOCK file, as defined previously server unix:/home/zhall/zoulfia/shared/sockets/unicorn.sock fail_timeout=0; }  server { listen 80; server_name moneytree.space www.moneytree.space " " 178.62.19.65; rewrite ^/(.*) https://moneytree.space/$1 permanent; }  # HTTPS server  server { listen 443; server_name moneytree.space www.moneytree.space " " 178.62.19.65; root /home/zhall/zoulfia/public;   ssl on; ssl_certificate /home/zhall/moneytree.space.chained.crt;  **ssl_certificate_key /home/zhall/ moneytree.space.key**  ssl_session_timeout 10m;  ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2; ssl_ciphers "HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5 or HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5:!3DES"; ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;  location / { try_files $uri $uri/ =404; } } 

When i restart nginx with ---

sudo service nginx restart 

In my log file ----

sudo nano /var/log/nginx/error.log, I get:  **invalid number of arguments in "ssl_certificate_key" directive in    /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default 

Everything is new to me so I need your help to solve this. What am I doing wrong and most importantly how to correct this mistake?

Thank you, Zoulfia

It looks like you may be missing a semicolon at the end of the ssl_certificate_key line.
