This can happen for various reasons. The most common mistakes include starting Apache with just apachectl start (or httpd) instead of apachectl startssl (or httpd -DSSL). Your configuration may also be incorrect. Please make sure that your Listen directives match your directives. If all else fails, please start afresh, using the default configuration provided by mod_ssl.
