Okay, I figured it out. I tried breaking things until I found the same symptom. I found that when I used the wrong private key, it had the same symptom. Sure enough, that was the problem. The CSR I used to get the certificate signed by Verisign was for a different key. I now have a significantly better understanding of how the whole process works. Why doesn't modssl provide any error message or log entry? Is it insecure to use an old key pair? What's the appropriate thing to do -- create a new key pair (and a new CSR) each time you renew your signed certificate, or just re-use the old key pair and get a new signed certificate?
