Adding SSL to Apache 2

After quite a bit of fiddling, here's what I have done to open HTTPS on our Apache server. It was a bit complicated because we have so many virtual hosts.

First, follow all the info on this page. Then change your NameVirtualHost to only do virtual hosting on port 80:

NameVirtualHost *:80

and change all the VirtualHost entries accordingly (adding ":80" at the end).

In the SSL virtual host, add the port specification:

VirtualHost *:443

It should work straight away.
