[users@httpd] SSL Creation Problems

OK I installed Apache 2.0.48 on a new system.  Now I am trying to get an SSL
Key installed and setup.

Here is what I am doing:

openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr

I then take that CSR and put it into my Certificate server and get me a
Certificate. That system works fine cause I have built certificates many
times and it works.

I then create a new file called:

server.cert

I set the httpd.conf to look at the key and the cert.  I put in the password
and the server starts up fine.  Now when I go to the https site I get a key
mismatch.  It isn't using the common name I put is ("mysite.mydomain.com")
it is only reporting "mysite" as the common name also the dates are wrong.
I made the request today 1/8/04 but it says in the mismatch key that it is
valid from 1/6/04...

Do you all think this has to do with the Versign key expiring or am I doing
something wrong?

Thanks,

Billy S.
