Question

I have the COMODO Extended Validation offered by NameCheap.com. It gives me these files:

[domain]_com.crt
AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt
COMODOAddTrustServerCA.crt
COMODOExtendedValidationSecureServerCA.crt

I did everything I was supposed to in regards to unpacking site.key and what not, but what I did not do was combine the 4 items listed above in to one file. I merely did

$ heroku certs:add [domain]_com.crt site.key --app myapp

After doing some research and cat’ing them all in to one file

$ cat [domain]_com.crt COMODOExtendedValidationSecureServerCA.crt /
  COMODOAddTrustServerCA.crt AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt > [domain]_com-bundle.pem

I am trying to do

$ heroku certs:update [new_file].pem site.key --app myapp

But I get these errors:

Resolving trust chain... done
Updating SSL Endpoint [app].herokussl.com for [myapp]... failed
 !    Pem can't be blank
 !    Pem is invalid
 !    Expires at can't be blank

Did I do the PEM file wrong? Did I cat them in the wrong order?

I think I figured it out and made a blog post about it here:
