Hello, I've read your documentation on installing an ssl certificate followed the steps but it keeps bringing the "Certificate and key do not match." error, in key I used the private key generated when I request the CSR, then I downloaded my certificates, combined the first certificate then add a new line and paste the chain. No idea why this is not working. Any ideas? (btw, I bought the ssl certificate in godaddy)

Well, I've finally figure it out. Please read carefully https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/HTTPSCustomCerts . For some reason the private key that godaddy gave me was somehow broken so I requested a rekey and made the CSR request following the steps from the link above. Then tried again but now with the New key and BOOM, it worked! Solution:

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout yourdomain.com.key -out yourdomain.com.csr

replace yourdomain with your actual domain name, no need to add www when prompted common name type down your domain name, in my case was www.codingclear.com , don't forget to add the www

OK, glad you worked it out! It's worth noting that we can provide you with free HTTPS certificates using Let's Encrypt with just a couple of clicks -- see this help page -- so there's no need to use a custom one from GoDaddy or another provider unless you particularly want to.
