ssl with apache again

[Aaron Howell]

Greg, try 
apachectl startssl
instead of just plain start.
If that doesn't work, try to find a listen line in your config file and make sure there is one for both 80 and 443.
Finally, make sure you have 
<virtualhost _default_:443>
and make sure that the ssl stuff is configured in there.
Also check your error log file for any startup errors.
Its most likely a missing listen statement though since you seem to be getting ssl stuff in the engine log.
Regards
Aaron
