Can you check your Apache config on which addresses it listens on port 443?

You should have a line in your /etc/hosts that points to the "real" IP of your server, not the 127.0.1.1 - comment out the 127.0.1.1, then add the "www www.pfarrell.com" to the end of the line with the real IP.

Now try again. :-)
