SSL handshake fails with - a verisign chain certificate - that contains two CA signed certificates and one self-signed certificate

Question

I am stuck with a issue and trying to debug it. We purchased a Verisign certificate. When we use:

openssl> s_client -connect myweb.com:443 -showcerts

Here is a link to VeriSign's SSL Certificate Installation Checker: https://knowledge.verisign.com/support/ssl-certificates-support/index?page=content&id=AR1130

Enter your URL, click "Test this Web Server" and it will tell you if there are issues with your intermediate certificate authority.
