<pre>
I moved the "ca" directory to "ca.BAK" to back it up, made a new ca directory, and then went through the steps detailed in that post.  Once done, zimbra started up without a problem:
1) Clear all the contents of the /opt/zimbra/conf/ca directory by backing them up
somewhere on disk.
2) Copy the /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/commercial.key /opt/zimbra/conf/ca/ca.key
3) Copy /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/commercial.crt /opt/zimbra/conf/ca/ca.pem
4) Create the hash value
ln -f -s ca.pem /opt/zimbra/conf/ca/`openssl x509 -hash -noout -in
/opt/zimbra/conf/ca/ca.pem`.0
5) Chmod 644 /opt/zimbra/conf/ca/*
6) Restart the zmcontrol

More details as shared by a customer:

I moved the "ca" directory to "ca.BAK" to back it up, made a new ca directory, and then went through the steps detailed in that post.  Once done, zimbra started up without a problem:

1) Clear all the contents of the /opt/zimbra/conf/ca directory by backing them up
somewhere on disk.
2) Copy the /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/commercial.key /opt/zimbra/conf/ca/ca.key

6) Restart the zmcontrol


A sample of what the /opt/zimbra/conf/ca directory looked like:

===Moving Your Certificates To New Or Another Server===

Please see [[Transfer_SSL_certificates_between_servers]]

===Commercial Cert Error - Subject Does Not Start With / ===

As reported by a customer to me:

''When creating a commercial cert for a server the zmcertmgr will fail if you don't supply a subjectAltName ----  Took me awhile to figure this out since the error isn't correctly describing the problem.  It says that "Subject does not start with '/'."  Which is incorrect.  Subject does start with "/" , it's the subjectAltName that was needed.  After I supplied this name, it generated the csr.  Here are my commands for your own reference.''

: I modified the Some* entries below.

 /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr createcsr comm -new -subject "/C=US/ST=SomeState/L=SomeCity/O=Some Community College/OU=ITS/CN=zimbra.somecommunitycollege.edu" -subjectAltNames zimbra.somecommunitycollege.edu

''then I went to thawte and applied for a ssl cert.''

===How To Setup Certs With CACert.org - Free Certs===

====CaCert.Org References====

Free Certs with http://www.cacert.org/ 

====How-To (tested on 5.0.2)====

Note, the following :

 su - root ; cd /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/

included in all steps in case someone is skipping through instructions.

=====Clean up and start fresh=====

 su - root
 cd /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/
 tar -czvf /tmp/ssl.commercial.backup.tar.gz *
 rm -rf *

=====Generate new csr=====

 [ su - root ; cd /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/ ]
 /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr createcsr comm -new

This uses the defaults, note the items to change.

 /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr createcsr comm -new "/C=US/ST=TX/L=Somewhere/O=Company, Inc./OU=ITDepartment/CN=mail.CHANGEME.com"

=====Confirm=====

 [ su - root ; cd /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/ ]
 ls -la

There should only be two files and time/date should match - commercial.csr & commercial.key

 cat /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/commercial.csr

=====Sign up for cacert.org use=====

Goto http://www.cacert.org/

Sign up - https://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=1

Verify the email the confirmation email.

Add a domain , it will send an email to some "admin" account to the domain. Make sure you can get it before you do this.

=====Get New Server Certificate=====

Now do a New Server Certificate from your administration page at http://www.cacert.org/

You'll copy in the /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/commercial.csr contents in window [all of it].

It'll generate your cert. on the webpage.

Copy this onto the server [paste in cert details]:

=====Get Root CA's=====

Root CA certs are found here  :  https://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3

Do the following on the server:
 
 [ su - root ; cd /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/ ]
 wget http://www.cacert.org/certs/root.crt
 mv root.crt commercial_ca.crt

=====Verify=====

Let's verify all is good.

 [ su - root ; cd /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/ ]
 /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr verifycrt comm commercial.key commercial.crt

Giving something like this:

 ** Verifying commercial.crt against commercial.key
 Certificate (commercial.crt) and private key (commercial.key) match.
 Valid Certificate: commercial.crt: OK

======Errors - Double check time======

* Date  [is it wrong?]
** Install ntpd if it's not
** Stop ntpd                               :  
*** <pre>/etc/init.d/ntpd stop
    • Set time with  :
      • ntpdate us.pool.ntp.org
    • Confirm time change  :
      • date
    • Confirm hardware clock time  :
      • hwclock
    • Sync hardware clock time  :
      • hwclock --systohc
    • Confirm hardware clock time  :
      • hwclock
    • Start ntpd now  :
      • /etc/init.d/ntpd start

Deploy CA

[ su - root ; cd /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/ ]

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr deploycrt comm commercial.crt

Restart the webserver

su - zimbra
