Thank you very much for your reply. This is really turning out to be stubborn. I ran the commands you specified, and the short exponent fields match, but it doesn't look like the long modulus fields match. I also generated a new private key with exactly the information specified by the certificate command above, and have the same results. The Apache2 error_log says: [Fri Jul 09 13:11:34 2004] [error] Unable to configure RSA server private key [Fri Jul 09 13:11:34 2004] [error] SSL Library Error: 185073780 error:0B080074:x509 certificate routines:X509_check_private_key:key values mismatch Also, there is no pass-phrase for the private key.
