Greetings,

I have a VPS with 5106R (fully yummed) on which I renewed the SSL cert
for from RapidSSL/Trustico by recreating a CSR through the GUI and
submitting it to registrar. Upon receiving the certs I created 2 files,
customer.crt and rapid-immediate.crt from the email and tried to upload
them via the GUI as I did before. Both the intermediate as well as the
real certificate resulted always in the below error:

"The imported file did not contain an ssl certificate. Please make sure
the correct file is being imported."

I've triple checked that the contents and the files are indeed valid
ssl-certs but couldn't get past this error, so I decided to just replace
the certificate file only in the sites cert directory (as the
intermediate was still identical) - et voila - site has SSL again.

I somehow doubt know that this cert was not a ssl certificate, else I am
pretty good at fooling apache into thinking it is one ;-)

Did somebody else observe this lately ?

Cheers,
Christoph
