How to Remove Self Signed Certificate from Ubuntu EC2 instance.

I think you are right. I spent more time on the Route 53 side and found that by checking "Alias" I could enter the id of the load balancer into my "A" records. I think that is the main thing that eventually solved it. The online instructions from AWS were pretty weak in that regard. Thanks for helping me focus in the right direction. I was also able to remove the self signed certificate and found the comment to disable the SSL from that misguided approach. I wish I had ready the full instructions in the certificate creation instructions before starting. Who would want a certificate that still throws an error in browsers trying to connect via SSL? Thank you.
