I must apologise for my screw-up. Apache is working fine. The problem was that when I sought to access Webmin i got the message : This server is running in ssl mode. I assumed it was apache, not realizing that port 10000 took me to the Webmin server. To clear things up, apache2.2.4 apparently automatically compiles with SSL, but SSL is only active if it is configured with certificates etc. and probably needs an installation of OpenSSL. Thanks much for your help; you steered me in the right direction.
