Hi there, My platform is Red Hat 7.1 w/Apache 1.3.12 and I just bought a Verisign certificate they sent me the certificate and I grab the gsid from their website. I am certain that the CN used is identical to the server name in the virtual host for my site. I put the certificate in a directory under /usr/local/apache/conf as I did with the key.pem; I installed the gsid in the ssl-crt directory. I made the respective changes to httpd.conf and i received this message in the ssl_error_log OpenSSL: error:14094412:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert bad certificate [Hint: Subject CN in certificate not server name or identical to CA!?] Any ideas ?
