Hello all, I am running a CherryPy web server on Mac OS X. I have purchased a GeoTrust Rapid SSL certificate. I have installed the certificate as cert.pem, the key as key.pem, and the intermediate certificate as intermediate.pem. However, when I start up the web server, I receive an error. When these certificates are removed, the web server starts up without any problems. The console displays this when the web server is launched with the certificates installed (see below). I am unable to figure this out and the online knowledge base on the Rapid SSL site has not been helpful. Do you have any ideas? Any clues or advise will be greatly appreciated.

suggest you to contact GeoTrust Rapid SSL and reissue the SSL certificate, once it done then try to reinstall it, just aware that you need to provide them a CSR before proceed to reissue.

Have you set a passphrase on your key? Also what does, (openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in cert.pem | openssl md5 ; openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in key.pem | openssl md5) | uniq Return (run this inside the dir that contains cert.pem and key.pem.
