[Tue Mar 01 17:29:01.443730 2016] [:error] [pid 12834] Misconfiguration of certificate's CN and virtual name. The certificate CN has mail.[domain.com]. We expected www.[domain.com] as virtual name.
Is the error I'm receiving after following the guide linked below. I have recreated the certificate 3 times just in case I messed up and accidentally put mail. but all three times it's returning the same error. And I'm definitely NOT entering mail.[domain.com].

There is the guide I've been following. I'm relatively new to dealing with certificates and security and it's all a learning process. I imagine it's something quite easy and simple that I'm overlooking.
I've looked through apaches configuration files to make sure everythings correct. The only thing I can imagine it being is I previously had a dovecot installation on there which I also created keys for but I have since removed dovecot from the server and that wouldn't explain why apache would use those certificates rather than the one I've created while following this guide.
I've been searching for a good few hours for this problem but there's very little information relating to this error message, let alone the problem I'm having specifically.
