It's normal to see the 'authenticity could not be verified' error with
a self-signed cert. If you want to get rid of that error, you have to
get your certificate signed by a recognized signing athority like
Verisign or GoDaddy.

The 'unknown content type' error may be another issue. Post your
VirtualHost config for your SSL vhost so we can troubleshoot. Or, you
can change LogLevel to 'debug' in your Apache config and watch the
error log while you access the server with a browser.
