Your ServerName isn't the same as the one which is present in the
certificate. SSL does not really like that. And it is good to be
stricter about that.

Yes, as that error clearly hasn't anything to do with SELinux.

As that seems to be a selfsigned certificate: Create a new one with the
server's fqdn in the Common Name filed (www.example.com, for example).

tinyca2 (which is available from the rpmforge repository) makes creation
of new certificates really easy.

Also the "HOWTO" section on
<http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_howto.html> has some information.

Cheers,
