No, when the above two commands didn't complain the server.crt and server.key
are at least in correct format. Then, as you already mentioned yourself in
another reply, you should check the file permissions. Perhaps the files are
not readable for the user who starts Apache?  OTOH they are read at startup
time, and your error occurs when the key is configured under run-time. So file
permissions shouldn't be your problem. Hmmmm....
