CSR - SSL certificate req. ERROR

[gigi]

Hi friends,
I have been experiencing this problem that is getting me crazy.
The CSR code generated via DA in not accepted by RAPIDSSL. It seems that DA generates an invalid/insecure CODE.
I tried any possible solution but I always get from RapidSSL configuration pannell this
The CSR that was supplied is not valid.

I don't now if this is a DA or RAPIDSSL problem

Please help me
thanks everybody

I use rapidssl all the time and never had the problem before. What os do you have?

It's probably caused by a bug in a Debian OS installation; if you're the server administrator check with the Debian website; if you're a webhosting client check with your hosting company.

you should be right.
There is a security bug in Debian that creates an invalid CSR via DA.

I asked the provider to patch it, but nothing happened despite the update !
Still DA generates invalid CSR.
I had to solve in other ways, but it still remains a problem for further SSL activations in the future.
Any other advice ?
Thanks a lot.

Most likely the problem is that you're reusing the original Private Key. Removing it from the DirectAdmin control panel doesn't remove it; it still gets reused.

To solve the problem find the Private Key file through a shell login (the path can be found in the user-level httpd.conf file). Delete it.

Then create a CSR again from scratch. That will create a new Private Key.
