SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/5195fdcb4d95bdda.crt

SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

Answer 1

Please replace your certificate path with this.

SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/5195fdcb4d95bdda.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/spalding.key
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/ssl/certs/gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt

And move the file to certs and private folder.

Restart apache and then check it.
