I'm trying to configure TLS for Dovecot 2.3 but after setting all things up I'm not able to start  Dovecot:

    Apr 16 20:56:02 master: Info: Dovecot v2.3.9.3 (9f41b88fa) starting up for imap, pop3, lmtp (core dumps disabled)
    Apr 16 20:56:25 auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/auth

    Apr 16 20:56:25 imap-login: Error: Failed to initialize SSL server context: Can't load SSL private key: Key is for a different cert than ssl_cert: user=<>, rip=::1, lip=::1, secured, session=<JKh/qm6j/rMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>
    Apr 16 20:56:25 imap-login: Info: Disconnected: TLS initialization failed. (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=::1, lip=::1, secured, session=<JKh/qm6j/rMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>
    Apr 16 20:57:47 master: Fatal: Dovecot is already running with PID 30727 (read from /usr/var/run/dovecot/master.pid)
    Apr 16 20:57:47 master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=30823 uid=0 code=kill)

I have created a brand new key pair, csr and the cert but still it complains to start.

Any thoughts on that?

Thanks,
Adam
