Re: configured Apache SSL, SSL module loads - but nobody's listening on the SSL port (so https: access doesn't work)

You tell! No seriously: if you don't remove those lines (and don't
define "SSL" in the config file) then the lines between <IfDefine SSL>
and </IfDefine> are _not_ read by apache.
So don't be surprised if nothing is listening on port 443 - apache
didn't read that part of your config file.

So if apache won't start if you remove those lines, then check
the apache error log and see _why_ it won't start. Don't just
ignore instructions and think it will work anyway.
