[SDBUG] SSL and Apache 2

[Michael J McCafferty]

Is the system listening on port 443 ? On the system, do a "netstat -an | grep
LISTEN" and see if you have something listening on port 443. If you do, the
there might be a firewall (PF ?) in your way of connecting to the server on
port 443. Poke a hole in it, then try again.

If there is nothign listening on 443, then your web server isn't listening on
443...and you have a problem to solve.
