It looks like the exception is coming up through alarmserver.py, which seems 
to be based on https://github.com/juggie/AlarmServer (I'm not entirely
certain because the line numbers don't seem to match).  Anyway, looking at 
the code for alarmserver.py it expects to find certificate paths defined in
its config file, but they are undefined.

The sample config file for the project includes this section:

## The server runs with SSL. You need a certificate and key
## server.crt and server.key are included but you should 
## generate your own.
## If left blank the default included cert/key will be used
#certfile=/etc/apache2/ssl/server.crt
#keyfile=/etc/apache2/ssl/server.key
certfile=
keyfile=

So I think you need to start by examining the config file on your server.

Good luck,
