If it's a self-signed certificate, you can use openssl to generate a new
one, see the documentation on the openssl web site, if it's a _real_
certificate (issued by Verisign or other 'trusted' CA) you'll have to
buy a new one.

It's a self-signed certificate, and I solve using openssl. Thanks.
Another question: is it possible (i mean, legally) in internet site
using a self-signed certificate?

Sure it is, there is no law that forces you to purchase a certificate,
as long as you don't give a rat about the fact that every browser in
the world will complain about the fact that the certificate is self-signed
you're ok. Of course the certificate will only be usefull for
encryption, and not for authentication (meaning: the communication will
be https, so encrypted, but anyone can have a self-signed certificate
that claim that they are you, so there is no 'security' there).
