SSL renewal not updating

Sorry for the double post, I accidently posted this to the 8.2 forum as well..

In Plesk 8.1, I've got a shared SSL certificate that I have installed as the server cert. I renewed it today using the CSR displayed for the cert in the server area of Plesk admin. I pasted the new cert into the upload cert area, and then even went into /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt and pasted it into server.crt. This is the only file I see referenced from any of the config files in /etc/httpd/conf.d/. However, it is STILL USING THE OLD, expired cert. I have restarted plesk, httpd, etc to no avail. I even rebooted the machine.

WHERE could the certificate file be stored on the machine? WHY is it not updating? Neither the plesk SSL cert at https://myserver:8443 has updated, nor has the shared SSL cert for Apache. This is confusing the heck out of me!
 
Hi: Certificate files could be found in /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/ subdirectories... but, first of all, make sure you have assigned your certificate to IP and set default domain for the IP (Server>IP addresses).
Second of all, check the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf for the line like:
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
If it exists, comment this default SSL up till "</VirtualHost>".
Then stop\start (not restart) your Apache.
Finally, in case if you're running a virtual server (Virtuozzo), setting the default SSL certificate for Plesk is a quite different thing -- make sure you find this special KB at kb.swsoft.com. Hope that helped a bit.
