SSL Cert Revoked - Locked out of VM Pro - Emergancy

I can’t pull up VM anymore, get (Error code: sec_error_revoked_certificate)

How can I create a new SSL cert from the command line?

I found these in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

SSLCertificateFile /home/domain/ssl.cert

SSLCertificateKeyFile /home/domain/ssl.key

Not sure how to generate this; or do I just comment it out? Which is what I did.

SSLCACertificateFile /home/domain/ssl.ca

Command I used:

openssl genrsa -out ssl.key 2048

openssl req -new -key ssl.key -out ssl.csr

openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in ssl.csr -signkey ssl.key -out ssl.cert

I have recreated them as a self signed key, but it didn’t work; I’m missing something simple.

I had a signed SSL on here, I moved it to a new server; but I still need this server to work without it; I wonder if it has something to do with the agency revoking the original cert; but now that I resigned this one, I don’t know what the issue is.

This is server is at a remote location hundreds of miles away; so all I have is ssh access.

Thanks

If I have a web site setup on the main domain that has an SSL cert, and it expires, how does VM continue to work? This is basically what happened, I moved the cert to another server; not knowing this would happen; who would think it would lock me out of VM.

I have created a Signed cert and replaced it, yet I still can not get into VM; any idea’s?
