If you have an RSA PRIVATE KEY then you would have a password encrypted key.
This will not work with DirectAdmin since it would require someone to type in a password each time apache restarts.
You do not have to start over, you can convert this password protected key into a normal key by typing:
openssl rsa -in /path/to/your/key -out /the/new/key
where you’d replace the bold values with appropriate values.
This will ask you for the password you specified when you created the original key.
It will then create a non-password-protected key that you can use for DA.
