i have a godaddy ssl Standard certificate, and i have Ubuntu servers running Apache i follow this page: http://www.codingepiphany.com/2014/11/26/installing-godaddy-ssl-certificate-in-an-ubuntu-server/ and i got apache error:

also when i load certificate openssl x509 -noout -text -in dott_com.crt -modulus | grep Modulus openssl x509 -noout -text -in dott_com.crt -modulus | grep Modulus i got unable to load certificate

also server name is dott.com in godaddy and in config file too

Answer 1

you might want to upload the certificate so someone can check it is actually valid. it may be corrupted or you incorrectly generated it(seems like the name form what the logs and erros are saying).

be sure to keep the private key to yourself!
