directadmin crashed - dead after installing a rapid ssl cert for server

[FBP]

Purchased rapid ssl for server ie: server.domain.tld

Followed this

http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=256

Sent csr to get signed cert. Received signed cert back and put it in

/usr/local/directadmin/conf/cacert.pem

Then copied the private.key contents generated from the first step and put it in

/usr/local/directadmin/conf/cakey.pem

Restarted DA and its dead. Only way to get DA back up and running is to replace old cert/key.

Read all over here found nothing telling me what exactly to do, thanks in advance for help.

Hi,

what is the error message in /var/log/directadmin/error.log?

I must have mixed up my keys, I copied the key over again and it worked, thanks.
