I have been struggling for a couple days and tried multiple methods but cannot seem to get this to work. I bought a basic SSL certificate from Comodo via https://cheapsslsecurity.com/ I generated the CSR using their free tool (https://cheapsslsecurity.com/ssltools/csr-generator.php) which gave me the certificate request and private key. When I download the certificate I get the following files:
AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt
COMODORSAAddTrustCA.crt
COMODORSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.crt
cm_thecompostcrew_com.crt
I need pfx format to upload to Azure as that is where my webapp is hosted. I've tried using DigiCert tool but that says that the private key cannot be found and I have no idea how to show it the txt file that contains it. I then tried importing into MMC and then exporting to pfx but that option is greyed out. Did I do something wrong or am I missing something?
Install openssl on your machine.
Windows ( http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html )
or Linux apt-get install openssl
Then
openssl pkcs12 -inkey YOURPRIVATEKEY.pem -in YOURCERT.cert -export -out YOURNEWPFX.pfx
In response to your comment below.
Your private key should look like this. You don't want any extra stuff before or after it in the file. The extension is not important. It's just a text file.

make a new file call YOURCERT.cert and in it put
