I am trying to configure Apache on my server to work with ssl, but everytime I visit my site, I get the following message in my browser:

SSL connection error. Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have. Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error.

The error message above seems to be native to Google Chrome. However, even though the messages are different, ssl for the site is not working on any browser.

Just some background on the situation: I am using Ubuntu 10.04 desktop edition. I installed apache by installing zend server (it installed apache automatically). I then installed openssl. Non-https pages work fine on the site. I tried getting trial certificates from multiple certificate sites but nothing is working (same error). I was previously hosting my site on another server on which ssl worked just fine. I also tried using the key and crt file from that server, but I got the same error. The domain name and IP are still the same though. My SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile are pointing to the correct directory and files. I also do not have SSLVerifyClient enabled.

If anyone has any suggestions, it would be most appreciated.
