If httpd.conf is empty, leave it that way. In the past it was the main 
configuration file for apache and may still be the main one for some web 
servers.

Add a symlink to mods-enabled to the ssl.* files in mods-available. You can 
make the changes you need to those files. If you are using virtual hosting 
there is a file to enable that feature.
