Help with SSL transfer

    I am moving from a host using cpanel to one using directadmin. I'm trying to transfer the comodo positive ssl cert over and I have these files (domain.csr, domain.key, domain.crt, domain.cabundle). I pasted the private key and cert into "Paste a pre-generated certificate and key" section and added what's inside domain.cabundle as the CA root cert. When I try to access https, I get the following error.

    The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed.
    The certificate is only valid for localhost
    (Error code: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid)

    What am I doing wrong here? Appreciate any help. Thank you.

    It seems that somehow it takes server's self sign certificate for your domain. Below link will help you to transfer SSL certificate. The link has provided same steps as you mentioned but they have also provided some additional information at the end.

    Also, make sure that you have assigned dedicated IP address to your domain before installing SSL certificate.
