I requested a Cert to use from spiceworks it was given to us to use with our website that is hosted on a Lotus Domino server. My admin gave me the 2 PEM files already extracted.

However when I replace the 2 files in \httpd\ssl directory and renaming them accordingly to match, Apache will not start.

Is there a step I need to do to get this working? I have read 2 tutorials but none are based on users who already have the PEM files created.

Maybe your PEM files are not ok.

No I do not have a PFX file all those liks reference a PFX to start with.

Jarrod were you able to get the certificates working? One thing to note is that Apache on Windows needs to have an unencrypted private key, that may be the issue.
