Can you confirm that you have put all the certificates in your .pem file?
Also can you check what error are you getting in Splunkd.log when you start your Splunk with this configurations?

Are you having the intermediate certificate?!?!
Troubleshoot your Splunk Web authentication
If you are unable to verify your certificate configuration, you can use the web_service.log in $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk to view and troubleshoot any errors that occur upon restart.
Look for SSL configuration warnings. For example, if you provide an incorrect path to the server certificate declared in serverCert, Splunk Web fails to start and the following error appears:
2010-12-21 16:25:02,804 ERROR [4d11455df3182e6710] root:442 - [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/splunk/share/splunk/mycerts/mySplunkWebCertificate.pem'
Note: If the private key is provided in privKeyPath is password protected, no error is provided but your browser won't load Splunk Web.

when you start Splunk, did it show error or just showing Splunk web starting?
Ensure,
privKeyPath
caCertPath
serverCert
are all reflected in btool output of web.conf
