unable to set private key file

I got this error and was just about to redo everything when I spotted the issue.

The error was: “unable to set private key file: ‘\/home\/xxx\/public_html\/swish.pem’ type PEM”

The issue was an extra tab chat between the key and the certificate.

In my editor (Atom) I had clicked enter after the private key and that generated a tab in the file so it looked like this:
—–END RSA PRIVATE KEY—–
<tab>—–BEGIN CERTIFICATE—–

That was enough to break things when trying to checkout. Just leaving this info here in case somebody else stumbles upon it or you want to write a faq.

Thanks for a great plugin!
