Apaceh2 with SSL and multiple virtual host

[Mobeen Azhar]

Reuben, are you sure about that?  Try intentionally mangling the line 
(for example change the SSLCertificateFile to SSLBadCertificateFile) and 
then restart Apache.  Make sure Apache fails then.  This will ensure 
that it is indeed reading that line.

Also, make sure Apache is being started with the -D SSL parameter.
