error: A definition for option services.nginx.virtualHosts."search.example.com".sslCertificate' is not of type path’.

I think you just need to replace the " search.example.com" with the correct domain?
for example:

Blockquote services.nginx.virtualHosts.TheDirectoryToTheRealLocationGoesHere.sslCertificate' is not of type path’.
