You should cat real PEM encoded cert and key.
PEM encoded private key has the following structure:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
header (sometimes) and base64 data
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

PEM encoded cert has the following structure:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
base64 data
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

and this two files you should put in one file.
