http://www.tc.umn.edu/~brams006/selfsign_ubuntu.html is how to create a certificate.  You no longer need SSLEngine On because of an if clause in modules.  The how to is pretty old and this is what I have in my config file.


<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        SSLEngine On
        SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.key
