Hi. Okay, I tried the absolute paths and now I am experiencing the 
following error:

SSLCertificateFile takes one argument, SSL Server Certificate file 
['/path/to/file/' - PEM or DER encoded]

What does this mean?

I also tried delimiting the paths with quotes but that yielded an invalid 
file path error.
