What it means is that you cannot use MULTIPLE SSL virtual host 
definitions per a single IP address (due to certificate binding per 
IP).  This does not mean you can't have multiple name-based HTTP 
virtual hosts and a single HTTPS (SSL) virtual host.

Based on the OP's description, he's only trying to add a single SSL 
name-based virtual host alongside multiple non-SSL name-based virtual 
hosts.  There is NO REASON this should not work, besides 
misconfiguration.
