[SOLVED]Dovecot error when roundcube tries to test IMAP

I am trying to get a virtual user mail server up and running. I have VM setup to be just a mail server. I have a couple things not working but Ill start with trying to resolve this error first.

error with journalctl -b -u dovecot

Aug 13 19:22:46 hermes dovecot[574]: master: Dovecot v2.2.13 starting up for imap, sieve (core dumps disabled)
Aug 13 19:23:58 hermes dovecot[577]: imap-login: Fatal: Can't load private ssl_key: Key is for a different cert than ssl_cert
Aug 13 19:23:58 hermes dovecot[574]: master: Error: service(imap-login): command startup failed, throttling for 2 secs
Aug 13 19:24:07 hermes dovecot[577]: imap-login: Fatal: Can't load private ssl_key: Key is for a different cert than ssl_cert
Aug 13 19:24:07 hermes dovecot[574]: master: Error: service(imap-login): command startup failed, throttling for 4 secs

I tried deleting the dovecot.pem files and recreating the ssl cert and that did not change the error.

dovecot.conf

protocols = imap sieve
ssl = yes
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/server.crt
ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/server.key
first_valid_uid = 5000
first_valid_gid = 5000
mail_home = /home/vmail/%d/%u
mail_location = maildir:~
auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5
auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@

service auth {
    unix_listener auth-client {
        group = postfix
        mode = 0660
        user = postfix
    }
    user = root
}

protocol imap {
  imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep
}
protocol lda {

    postmaster_address = user@example.com
    hostname = example.com
    sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
    mail_plugins = sieve
    log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda-errors.log
    info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda.log
}

service managesieve-login {
  inet_listener sieve {
    port = 4190
  }
}

service managesieve {

}
protocol sieve {

# Defaults are OK, so nothing in this section.

}

plugin {
  sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
  sieve_global_path = /home/vmail/sieve.sieverc
  sieve_dir = ~/
}

 passdb {
   driver = sql
   args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf
 }
 userdb {
   driver = sql
   args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf
 }

dovecot-sql.conf

driver = mysql

connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix_db user=user password=password
default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT

user_query = SELECT '/home/vmail/%d/%u' as home, 'maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%u' as mail, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, concat('dirsize:storage=',  quota) AS quota FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1'
password_query = SELECT username as user, password, '/home/vmail/%d/%u' as userdb_home, 'maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%u' as userdb_mail, 5000 as  userdb_uid, 5000 as userdb_gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1'

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read and especially anyone who takes the time to reply.

Re: [SOLVED]Dovecot error when roundcube tries to test IMAP

fixed. I was pointing to the incorrect ssl_cert.
