Errr... what? If sbin already doesn't exists, then both have to fail, of
course. Seems like you got confused a little bit.

Check your certificate file. It has to be in PEM-format (contains ---BEGIN..
and ---END... lines and the cert Base64 encoded in the middle) and check
whether you can read it with "openssl x509 -noout -text -in server.crt". If
this already fails, it's a plain certificate problem and has nothing to do
with mod_ssl. Then recreate it from scratch (if it was a test cert) or ask
your CA to resend it to you (if it was not a test cert). Perhaps it was
garbled.
