(You don;t a need a :443 for https the same way you don't need a :80 for http, they are the default ports for those protocols.)
On the httpd-ssl.conf could you try changing the ServerName to localhost:443? Like these:
ServerName localhost:443

Apache is now running when I restart it, and when I click on the secure WOHyperlink it's creating a https URL, and it picks up the certificate, but then when I accept the certificate I get the "requested URL not found" error. If I simply change the url to be a http:// URL, the page comes up with no other changes to the generated URL. Looks like webobjects is not liking any https URL. Is there something I've forgotten to do?
