1. Do you have the key (server.key) in place?
2. Did you configure Apache to listen on port 443?
3. Do you have any virtual hosts set up?
4. Did you start SSL? (yes, I'm serious)
5. Is your firewall open on port 443?

#3 is the biggest oops most ppl have with SSL: you can only set 1 virtual host
for SSL and it has to be IP-based, not host.domain.  It's to do with the stack
layer SSL works on (you can read more about it in docs).

You may wanna have a separate ssl.conf which you load from httpd.conf in order
to keep the configs separate.  On RH9 with Apache2 there's a conf.d directory
where you place individual .conf files that are automagically loaded by
Apache.  I've worked with Apache on Solaris, FreeBSD, Slackware, Debian, and
RedHat - and they all seem to do things differently, to a greater or lesser
degree, so good luck :)
