The failure to read the key can have lots of reasons. First I suggest you to
check the cert and key files with the "openssl x509" and "openssl rsa", of
course. Second, the above message are from an ancient mod_ssl 2.0.x. We're
already at 2.2.8 and the next days already at 2.3.x. So do yourself a favor
and try to upgrade to a current version. We've fixed _LOTS_ of bugs since
2.0.x, so the chance is high that also your problem is solved.
