Re the SSL error, I think the problem maybe that you've forgotten to configure your server to send the intermediate CA certs. Without these certs the browser can't build a path to one of its pre-configured trust anchors.

To see what I mean, you can use openssl or this online tool: http://certlogik.com/sslchecker/

If you examine your website with it, you'll notice that only one cert, the server cert, is returned.

Now check, say, www.godaddy.com and you'll see a chain of CA certs returned in addition to the server cert.

Your web server docs should provide the details on how to add these CA certs. For example, I think Apache uses SSLCertificateChainFile.
