Problem reading SSL key

[Tech Support]

All;

    I'm trying to setup dovecot to use SSL, but I'm getting an error message
in the logs. I'm getting the error imap-login: Fatal: Couldn't parse private
ssl_key. I'm using a commercial cert so I know that the .crt and .key files
themselves are not the problem. I have them configured like so:

 

ssl_cert = </etc/pki/tls/certs/mail_acmewidgets_net.crt

ssl_key = </etc/pki/tls/private/mail_acmewidgets_net.key 

 

The crt is mode 444 and the key is mode 400. 

 

Since the log is not giving any other information, I don't know what the
problem is. Any insight at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks;

Frank
