New SSL Certificate causes err -66

[rayb12]

Hi All,

I purchased a certificate from GoDaddy and installed it into my SBS 2011 server about a year ago.  Today I extracted the certificate into a pfx file as per the instructions: "Extracting an existing certificate from IIS 6" in the NetTalk WebServer documentation and created cert, key and pem files.  However, when I install these into the certificates folder for my app and (I also set the right certs file name in the webserver object settings), I get a "SSL Failed to load private key" error message.

FYI: The same application works fine when I created my own crt file being my own CA, but this is a public application and I can't have browsers saying it's not a trusted source, etc.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!

Hi Ray,

You should be able to just download the crt file from your Godaddy account.
You may also want to recreate the crt file on the Godaddy. Make sure to copy the new key file to the same folder. It doesn't take that long.
In the future, I would suggest using namecheap.com. They offer Comodo Positive SSL for $9/Year.

Thanks Bijan.  I went with NameCheap and the Comodo cert.  Worked perfect immediately.  Thanks again!
