SPLUNK not starting after certificate renewal

Hello, 

I am running SPLUNK 9.1.2 on Linux and ever since I installed a new internal certificate, I am not able to run SPLUNK. Below are some of the warnings I was about to find in splunkd.log. Would anyone have any idea of how this can be addressed and fixed? Thank you for any suggestions!

1. Browse through logs directly from process startup. If there are some issues with - for example - certificate file readability, you should have your errors there

2. Check the logs from the other side of the connection. They often tell more.

Thank you!

I've been trying to find logs from process startup but not sure where these might be located? 

What do you mean by 'the other side of the connection'?
