I am struggling with this as well... I installed Plesk 6 on a redhat 9 box
and it ate my httpd.conf and then promptly blew up.

Yep, Apache (NOW???) only allows _one_ secure server per.

Plesk added a few includes to my httpd.conf and it took some snooping but
after a google or two I have found some suggestions - which seem harder
than they should be - and a simple one to move ssl.conf to ssl.conf.bak

Looking forward to resolving this!
