Problem Creating a New SSL Cert in Apache2

Windows Server Apache2 OpenSSL I am new to working with SSL Certs so I am sure I did something wrong somewhere. Where???? I have no idea! We needed an SSL Cert for our website. I created the CSR using openssl req -new -out uwm.csr answered all of the questions, went to GoDaddy and did a copy and paste into their text area, and created a certificate. I took the output of the certificate key, created a notepad file, copied the text into the file, and named it uwm.crt. I restarted apache and it would not start. Using the expired cert, apache worked. So where have I gone wrong? ALL help is GREATLY appreciated! TIA Mike
