And that would most likely be your problem - the CA Certificate should have 
the following extensions:

Basic Constraints: CA:TRUE
Key Usage: DigitalSignature, CertificateSign, CrlSign

If you re-gen your CA Certificate with those usages, and then re-sign your 
Server certificate (which itself, should have the Key Usage extension set to 
digital Signature and key Encipherment), your issue should go away :)
