SSL certificate installation on a server side

Question

I am developing a mobile app. I am new to web development.

I have DNS on GoDaddy (say app.test.com) and have a server that only has an IP address (say 31.254.42.73). My requests are forwarded from app.test.com to the IP address. I've purchased an SSL certificate which CN is app.test.com, on the server side I run a Jetty on Spring Boot.

SSL is imported on a server side, however I receive the following error:

This site's certificate has expired or has been issued for a different website's address.
This problem may indicate an attempt to intercept the data between you and remote server.
Please check whether the URL in the address bar is correct.

Error code 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR)

Any ideas how can I install the SSL certificate correctly?

What does it mean that *"requests are forwarded"*? Are you using a server-side proxy (or a similar mechanism)? Or are you redirecting requests using a HTTP redirect (3xx)? — Andrea Corbellini, Aug 31 '15 at 11:33
I am using HTTP redirect (3xx), thank you for editing my question :) — GefenKer, Aug 31 '15 at 11:36

If your certificate is assigned to app.test.com, there is no way to make it work for 31.254.42.73.

Either avoid redirecting your users to 31.254.42.73 (recommended), or purchase a new certificate for 31.254.42.73 (AFAIK, not all certificate authorities allow this).
