Well, I didn't compile it from source, I used the Debian distribution
(apache, and mod_ssl) but it worked for me using the following in
httpd.conf:

#------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Load the ssl module (you probably won't need this if you compile SSL in)
LoadModule ssl_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_ssl.so

# Listen on which ports
Listen 80
Listen 443

# Various SSL options
SSLMutex                sem
SSLRandomSeed           startup builtin
SSLRandomSeed           connect builtin
SSLSessionCache         dbm:/var/run/apache-sslcache.dbm
SSLSessionCacheTimeout  300
SSLCertificateFile      /etc/apache/ssl.crt/certificate.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile   /etc/apache/ssl.key/keyfile.key
SSLOptions              StdEnvVars

# use SSL on port 443
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
        SSLProtocol             SSLv3
        SSLEngine               on
</VirtualHost>

#------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope this helps,
