How do I configure an apache SSL-only server?

And should I put the configuration file under vhosts (where the non-SSL host examples are defined) or modules (where the SSL host examples are)? I keep getting:

Init: (shs.ucdavis.edu:443) You configured HTTP(80) on the standard HTTPS(443) port!

errors no matter how I set it up.

My /etc/conf.d/apache options are: APACHE2_OPTS="-D SSL -D PROXY -D PROXY_HTML -D PHP5"

Have you looked at this guide? It might help you.

You need to define you SSL host in /etc/apache2/modules.d/41_mod_ssl.default_host.conf (may be named slightly differently). You can't do name-based virtual hosting with SSL.

Your error messages suggests that you tried to run normal http on port 443, but that won't ever give you SSL.
