Usually not. Do the two have the same DNS name? Can the "new" server correctly decrypt the private key (if it is pass-phrase encrypted)?
I guess to go much further we should know what kind of server software is in use. If it is apache, what does the log file say at at startup?
You can ensure the cert and key match by comparing the modulus (and exponent :-) fields from:
openssl x509 -noout -text -in <certificatefile> openssl rsa -noout -text -in <privatekeyfile>
If the private key is encrypted with a passphrase, you will need to give it for the "openssl rsa" call.

I generated a CSR and private key on my old (current) server, and I'm having trouble getting the certificate and key to not error on my new server. Do the CSR and private key need to be generated from the server they will be installed on?
