hi,

I have setup a ubuntu CA server and created a CA root (server is pki.nelsonlab.local) which i loaded in the trusted root certificate of my windows 10 station


I also created and signed a csr for a web server with subject alternative as web1.nelsonlab.local


I added the instructions for the apache default virtual host as:
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/web1.nelsonlab.local.key
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/web1.nelsonlab.local.crt

then restarted the web server

When going to the web page https://web1.nelsonlab.local i am still getting a certificate error and dont understand why this is happening.


everything to me looks fine i just don't understand why it's still giving me cert error.

Can anyone explain why this is?

It would be more helpful if you type the error that you are getting.

As said, what is the error.
And, what is in Apache log and error log?

Did you follow a guide?
Is this a self signed certificate?
Did you enable ssl
Did you verify there are not any syntax errors?
sudo apache2ctl configtest
