Hi Lee,

The old 'doesn't recognise the file' appeared, renamed extension to .txt and then recognises - however the import will not complete, giving the "imported certificate does not match the private key" line.

It works best of the uploaded file(s) have the ending *.txt. However, 
"imported certificate does not match the private key" indicates a tricky 
problem indeed:

When you make a CSR request, then the CSR is generated using the private 
key /home/sites/site.name/wwwroot/certs/key that is present when the CSR 
is being generated.

The cert that you then receive from the certification authority will 
only work with the private key that was present during the CSR request.

For an unknown reason the cert you received does not match the key that 
you still have in /home/sites/site.name/wwwroot/certs/key

See if you have a backup of the original key somewhere. If you have no 
copy of the original key, then you can unfortunately not use the cert 
that you received.
