Configuration:
-Apache 2.0.61
-OpenSSL 0.9.8g
-Windows Platform

Setup:
I have installed Apache and OpenSSL on my PC.  Everything works.  
I create a certificate and key using my ip address for Server Name: 
10.X.X.X
I changed my Apache Configuration to use to listen to port 443 and point to
the key and certificate.

when I go to https://10.x.x.x I get the following error messages:
There is a problem with this website's security certificate.
-The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a
trusted certificate authority.
-The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a
different website's address.

If I click Continue to this website, I get to my website, but I'm using
https and I have Red X instead of a Green Lock on the top of the web page
because of my certifigate errors.

I have looked up these errors online, but I am still not sure what I am
doing wrong.  

Is my certificate not trusted by a trusted certifcate authority a problem
because I am self signing my certificate?

Is my different website's address a problem because I am using an IP address
(10.x.x.x) instead of a domain name like www.foobar.com?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
