I got my free ssl at startssl.com and it works really fine. My site is working with https://. After I configure LAMP and VSFTP and broke something in there, I decided to re-install UBUNTU 12.04 OS to wipe out all the configurations and unnecessary thing i made in there.

Following the same procedure as I was configuring it before and added the same

SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/ssl.crt                           
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/private.key                        
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/sub.class1.server.ca.pem

When I restart the apache2 it showed FAILED instead of OK. I immediately run this command cat /var/log/apache2/error.log and found out the error Failed to configure CA certificate chain!.

I followed this post Failed to configure CA certificate chain but still no luck.

BTW, I configured my VPS like this tutorial https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-apache-with-a-free-signed-ssl-certificate-on-a-vps and it works so fine before i re-install my OS.

Have you already manually verified the chain of trust of your `ssl.crt` using `openssl verify`? You might be missing an intermediate certificate. – dawud Apr 20 '14 at 07:25
no, how can i do it? @dawud – user3541736 Apr 20 '14 at 07:36
It is quite simple, read the [`verify(1)`](http://linux.die.net/man/1/verify) manpage. – dawud Apr 20 '14 at 07:39
okay sir. i will try it. – user3541736 Apr 20 '14 at 07:42
