Question : Error Code 10061: Connection refused after replacing certificates

Dear Experts,

I am really lost here. I'm totally new to Apache. we had a vendor install a web application that uses certificates to verify the sender/ receiver. our certificate expired so I had to renew it (I've done this on Windows multiple times). It was a struggle but I finally did generated the csr and key using these steps found through Google:

openssl genrsa -des3 -out billing.key 1024  

openssl req -new -key billing.key -out billing.csr  

Domain visas.ecvisas.com


I then passed the csr file to the security team who generated the certificate using the Authority and got a valid certificate that when I opened on my machine didn't show any errors, I didn't know where it should be installed so I just tried to find the old certificates on the server, renamed them to .old and uploaded the new one with the same name.

Ever since then, anyone who tries to connect to the site through the url or even IP in the browser we get this error:

Error Code 10061: Connection refused
Background: When the gateway or proxy server contacted the upstream (Web) server, the connection was refused. This usually results from trying to connect to a service that is inactive on the upstream server

Is this related? what went wrong? I don't even know where to start! Help please!
