[wplug] Help with Apache and SSL

[smk]

I have yet to make the switch to Apache 2.x so this is how I do it in the
1.3.x branch:

add:
Listen 443
(remember HTTPS connections run on port 443)

<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443>
[.. snip other config options ..]
</VirtualHost>

Just add this along with your regular config and that should work.  If you
want a more specific example drop me an email off the list.
