Trouble getting https to work with self signed certificate on aws elastic load balancer

Trouble getting https to work with self signed certificate on aws elastic
load balancer

I am having issue configuring https on my aws elastic load balancer using
a self-signed certificate. After I've done with the set up, making
connection to https endpoint does not work. http connection is still fine.
Here's what I did.
Generate the self-signed certificate using this command
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout privateKey.key
-out certificate.crt
Verified the key and certificate is working by using this command:
openssl rsa -in privateKey.key -check
openssl x509 -in certificate.crt -text -noout
Convert the certificate the key and the cert into a .pem encoded format to
comply with aws certificate requirement.
openssl rsa -in privateKey.key -text > private.pem
openssl x509 -inform PEM -in certificate.crt > public.pem
Upload the certificate to my elastic load balancer using the the AWS
Management Console
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticLoadBalancing/latest/DeveloperGuide/US_UpdatingLoadBalancerSSL.html.
For the private key and public cert value, I used the private.pem and
public.pem that were generated in step 3.
Go into EBL Listener configuration, added a https listener and used the
certificate that I just uploaded. Here's the configuration for the
Listener:

Any thought on what might be wrong in my configuration? Thanks!!!
