[SDBUG] SSL and Apache 2

Hello all,

I just joined the list and am seeking some help 
with a problem installing SSL on FreeBSD 6.0 
running Apache2/PHP 4/MySQL.

I should say up front I am a developer by trade, 
not a sys admin, though I do keep our own servers 
in the office and enjoy learning as much as I can 
about maintaining them.

At this point I would prefer to pay a consultant 
to get this going, and I will help with background 
info as much as I can. If there are any list 
members who do remote administration for a fee, I 
would very much like to hear from you. If this 
list is not intended for such purposes, let me 
apologize for the intrusion now, but I'll keep 
going just in case it's okay.

A little background: The box was set up by a guy 
who is no longer with us, so I wasn't sure if it 
was SSL enabled. I did an 'httpd -l' command and 
mod_ssl was not listed.

This morning I rebuilt apache2 with:

make WITH_STATIC_MODULES="ssl" install

And now I get this:

venomouspenguin# httpd -l
Compiled in modules:
   core.c
   mod_ssl.c
   prefork.c
   http_core.c
   mod_so.c

However, I cannot telnet into port 443, and I 
believe httpd.conf and ssl.conf are at least as 
correct as I can get them. Port 443 is also active 
in /etc/services, as well.

I'm stumped.

If anyone can help with this problem it would be 
monstrously appreciated.

Thanks much for your time.
