OK, I figured it out. I was creating a .CER file from the *.154 computer,
exporting it and importing it to the *.155 computer. That didn't work, and
I got the 404 error. Instead, I exported the certificate with the private
key as a .PFX file, then loaded that file into the *.155 certificate store.
When I installed that certificate on the web server it worked just great,
first try.
