im running Debian and the installed mod_gnutls is:

I tried to convert the key with:
certtool --generate-privkey --infile xxx_real.key --outfile key.pem

and its working, insofar as apache will start up, but the website is not
working because of:

An error occurred during a connection to www.mobivita.com.
Peer's certificate has an invalid signature.
(Error code: sec_error_bad_signature)
(this is what firefox tells me).

Maybe i did not convert the key correctly ?
