I have just done it but this time, after copying the cert and key on
my home pc and running

>openssl x509 -in mynewcertCert.pem  -fingerprint -subject -issuer -serial -hash -noout

I get:

Doing .
WARNING: mynewcertPrivateKey.pem does not contain a certificate or CRL: skipping
mynewcertCert.pem => 2764d17c.0

I had got no warning whatsoever the first time. What does this mean?
Should I worry, or redo/change something?
