RE: WebStar SSL -> Apache

The certificate is a copy of your public key, signed with the CA's
private key. You won't be able to obtain your private key from it (it's
meant to be publicly distributed).

The contents of the key file should look like this:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
[...]
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

The way to see if the private key file is compatible with Apache:

openssl rsa -in <key-file> -text

Sorry, but I don't know what you should do if they key file is
incompatible. Consider contacting the vendor and asking how to get your
key out in PEM format (as required by OpenSSL).
