Well, that seems to be the problem. Did you generate an SSL
certificate? You can't have an HTTPS server without an SSL
key/certificate, and you'll have to make one. If you were using
libapache-mod-ssl, the command would be mod-ssl-makecert. I'm not
sure what it is with apache-ssl, please consult the apache-ssl
documentation.

Hm. I'm not sure. sf-httpd.conf just tells Apache to use SSL,
which requires that you have a working SSL certificate. If you have
not, then commenting out the include will only remove the requirement
that SSL is enabled, thus allowing Apache to start.
