Error Opening Certificate Server.crt
the log file causing Apache to not start Untrusted certificate warnings in browsers or intermediate certificate errors on DigiCert.com/help The browser error message "ssl_error_rx_record_too_long" Errors That Keep Apache from Starting Errors that keep Apache from starting can be very frustrating. This usually happens when Apache is reading the configuration files and finds something it doesn't know how to handle. The first step when you experience this issue is to check your log file for an error that might point to the problem. The default location of the log files is as follows: Debian (Ubuntu): /var/log/apache2/error_log Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS: /var/log/httpd/error_log Windows: C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\logs\error.log Default Location From Compiling Source Code: /usr/local/apache2/logs/error_log If the log files are not in the above location, you may have defined a different log file location in your httpd.conf file or the VirtualHost section of your .conf file. Some possible conf file errors you may find are listed below. "Unable to configure RSA server private key" and "certificate routines:X509_check_private_key:key values mismatch" Errors If you see one of these errors it usually means that the private key that is being loaded in the VirtualHost section of your .conf file doesn't match the SSL Certificate being loaded in the same section. To check if the two files match, run the following OpenSSL command on each of them: openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in your_domain_com.crt | openssl md5 openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in your_domain_com.key | openssl md5 If the modulus of the two files doesn't match exactly, do one of the following: Find the .key file matching your .crt file and update the VirtualHost in your .conf file to match. Reissue your certificate by either generating two new files with the OpenSSL CSR Wizard or by creating a new CSR from your existing private key file using the following command. Note that the existing private key must be at least 2048 bits. If the key is less than 2048 bits you will have to recreate the key. openssl req -new -key your_domain_com.key -out your_domain_com.csr "Invalid command 'SSLEngine'"
Dec 11, 2013. Quaxth New Member Sorry for misplaced in wrong forum (ISPConfig 2), please delete ther and reply here! It's for ISPConfig 3, thanks. Just installed the SSL Class 1 Certificate and followed the Guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/securing-y...-from-startssl and get an Apache Error: Apache failed to start Code: [Wed Dec 11 20:52:44 2013] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down [Wed https://www.digicert.com/ssl-support/apache-fix-common-ssl-errors.htm Dec 11 20:52:46 2013] [error] Init: Unable to read server certificate from file /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/ssl/ispserver.crt [Wed Dec 11 20:52:46 2013] [error] SSL Library Error: 218529960 error:0D0680A8:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_CHECK_TLEN:wrong tag [Wed Dec 11 20:52:46 2013] [error] SSL Library Error: 218595386 error:0D07803A:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_ITEM_EX_D2I:nested asn1 error [Wed Dec 11 https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/installed-ssl-certificate-and-get-error-apache-failed-to-start.64314/ 21:03:31 2013] [error] Init: Unable to read server certificate from file /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/ssl/ispserver.crt [Wed Dec 11 21:03:31 2013] [error] SSL Library Error: 218529960 error:0D0680A8:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_CHECK_TLEN:wrong tag [Wed Dec 11 21:03:31 2013] [error] SSL Library Error: 218595386 error:0D07803A:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_ITEM_EX_D2I:nested asn1 error [Wed Dec 11 21:05:45 2013] [error] Init: Unable to read server certificate from file /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/ssl/ispserver.crt [Wed Dec 11 21:05:45 2013] [error] SSL Library Error: 218529960 error:0D0680A8:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_CHECK_TLEN:wrong tag [Wed Dec 11 21:05:45 2013] [error] SSL Library Error: 218595386 error:0D07803A:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_ITEM_EX_D2I:nested asn1 error What I could do now?

PEM Certificates and How To Convert Them Certificates and Encodings At its core an X.509 certificate is a digital document that has been http://info.ssl.com/article.aspx?id=12149 encoded and/or digitally signed according to RFC 5280. In fact, the term X.509 certificate usually refers to the IETF’s PKIX Certificate and CRL Profile of the X.509 v3 certificate standard, as specified in RFC 5280, commonly referred to as PKIX for Public Key Infrastructure (X.509). X509 File Extensions The first thing we have to understand is what each type of file extension is. There is a lot of error opening confusion about what DER, PEM, CRT, and CER are and many have incorrectly said that they are all interchangeable. While in certain cases some can be interchanged the best practice is to identify how your certificate is encoded and then label it correctly. Correctly labeled certificates will be much easier to manipulat Encodings (also used as extensions) .DER = The DER extension is used for binary DER encoded error opening certificate certificates. These files may also bear the CER or the CRT extension. Proper English usage would be “I have a DER encoded certificate” not “I have a DER certificate”. .PEM = The PEM extension is used for different types of X.509v3 files which contain ASCII (Base64) armored data prefixed with a “—– BEGIN …” line. Common Extensions .CRT = The CRT extension is used for certificates. The certificates may be encoded as binary DER or as ASCII PEM. The CER and CRT extensions are nearly synonymous. Most common among *nix systems CER = alternate form of .crt (Microsoft Convention) You can use MS to convert .crt to .cer (.both DER encoded .cer, or base64[PEM] encoded .cer) The .cer file extension is also recognized by IE as a command to run a MS cryptoAPI command (specifically rundll32.exe cryptext.dll,CryptExtOpenCER) which displays a dialogue for importing and/or viewing certificate contents. .KEY = The KEY extension is used both for public and private PKCS#8 keys. The keys may be encoded as binary DER or as ASCII PEM. The only time CRT and CER can safely be interchanged is when the encoding type can be identical. (ie PEM encoded CRT = PEM encoded CER) Common OpenSSL Certif
