I think what I was suggesting (not too sure about this, but I think this is where I was going) was that apache was *already* serving up https content before you even started installing apache-ssl - certainly something was using port 443 (since apache-ssl couldn't access it). The only thing which seems likely is apache. Now that you have re-installed apache-ssl (which I think is very keen when you had a working system) I would be interested in the results of the lsof command I suggested earlier. What lsof does is tells you what process owns a file (or in this case a port). If # lsof | grep https reports something like apache-ss 440 root IPv4 220292 *:https (LISTEN) then that means that apache-ssl now 'owns' the https port. So try accessing some https content: point your browser at https://localhost/ and see what happens. I feel a bit bad about pointing this out when you had a working system, as it seems to have made you keen and *uninstalled a working system* (something you wouldn't catch me doing). Sorry.
