I recently started a LAMP server (all the latest versions) w/ WordPress on it, and I'm trying to install a SSL certificate that I recently purchased. When I restart apachectl, error_log gives me this:

While ssl_error_log gives me this:
[Tue Feb 25 00:57:15.802287 2014] [ssl:warn] [pid 1705] AH01909: RSA certificate configured for ec2-XX-XXX-XXX-XX.compute-1.amazonaws.com:443 does NOT include an ID which matches the server name

I changed "ServerName" in ssl.conf to my server's name (dcturano.com) and restarted apachectl, yet this error occurs. Any ideas why?
As an aside, I haven't set the CommonName of the server, could that be the issue?
Best Answer
Should return the CN the of the certificate. That's the name you have to use in the ServerName directive and to connect to.
