Nginx is getting old ssl certificate

My ssl certificate has expired and I have created a new one using Startssl. I have followed the steps for Nginx server that I have found in the FAQs from Startssl but, although the paths to the certificate and the key are correct, when I try to load the website with any browser it always gets the old certificate instead of the new one. Do anyone knows what can be happening?

Thanks!

March 22th UPDATE:

I have found something of what is happening: we have 2 web servers in AWS and a Load balancer. I have seen the load balancer has also the ssl certificate and I guess I have to update it too. I have done it and now the new certificate is in usage. But I still see an error: the server cannot check my domain because my certificate comes from one of my subdomains. When I created the certificate in StartSSL there was an step that asks me for a subdomain. It said the certificate will be for the domain and subdomain, but now I'm getting this message. Any idea?

I have found the answer:

When StartSSL asked for a subdomain when I was following the steps to get the new certificate, I was indicating one of my real subdomains. If I set as subdomain "www" everything works. So I wanted to share my experience with everyone hoping it helps:

First: when you are asked for a subdomain in StartSSL, set it as "www".

Second: If you are using AWS and you have a load balancer, don't forget to update the SSL certificate in the load balancer, using the AWS NETWORK & SECURITY -> Load balancers option (Listeners tab).

Hope it helps.

Thanks for reading and trying to help me.
