Check SSL certificates and keys
Before running the commands shown on this page, you should load the Bitnami stack environment by executing the installdir/use_APPNAME script (Linux and MacOS) or by clicking the shortcut in the Start Menu under “Start -> Bitnami APPNAME Stack -> Application console” (Windows). On OS X VMs, the installation directory is /opt/bitnami and OS X VM users can click the “Open Terminal” button to run commands. Learn more about the Bitnami stack environment and about OS X VMs.
TIP: To quickly get started with HTTPS and SSL, follow these instructions to auto-configure a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate.
If you get an error like this in the Apache error log file, it is because an incorrect certificate or key is in use.
[Mon May 12 15:37:46.891294 201X] [ssl:emerg] [pid 15450] AH02565: Certificate and private key example.com:443:0 from installdir/apps/your_app/conf/certs/server.crt and installdir/apps/your_app/conf/certs/server.key do not match
Verify that the current key matches the certificate file with the following commands. Note that the “Modulus” section in the key and certificate must match.
Check your certificate:
$ openssl x509 -noout -text -in server.crt -modulus | grep Modulus Modulus=D6E23C2E6140707EA63F3250...Check your key:
$ openssl rsa -noout -text -in server.key -modulus | grep Modulus Modulus=D6E23C2E6140707EA63F3250...
In case of a mismatch, the wrong key is in use for the certificate and so Apache will not start until the issue is resolved.
