I am trying to set up a site using vmware workstation, ubuntu 11.10, and apache2. The site works fine but now the https pages are not showing up. For example if I try to go to https://www.mysite.com/checkout I just see the message

Not Found The requested URL /checkout/ was not found on this server.

I dont really know what I am doing and have tried a lot of things to get the ssl certificates in there right.

A few things I have in there, in my httpd.conf I just have :

ServerName localhost

In my ports.conf I have :

NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 80

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
    # If you add NameVirtualHost *:443 here, you will also have to change
    # the VirtualHost statement in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl
    # to <VirtualHost *:443>
    # Server Name Indication for SSL named virtual hosts is currently not
    # supported by MSIE on Windows XP.
    Listen 443 http
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_gnutls.c>
    Listen 443 http
</IfModule>

In the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl :

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        DocumentRoot /var/www
        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/www/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

     .... truncated

in the sites-available/default I have :

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        DocumentRoot /var/www
        #DocumentRoot /home/magento/site/
        <Directory />

                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all


        </Directory>

                allow from all


        </Directory>

</virtualhost>

I also have in sites-availabe a file setup for my site url, www.mysite.com so in /etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite.com

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName mysite.com
        DocumentRoot /home/magento/mysite.com

        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride All
        </Directory>
        <Directory /home/magento/mysite.com/ >
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

        ErrorLog /home/magento/logs/apache.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerName mysite.com
   DocumentRoot /home/magento/mysite.com

        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride All
        </Directory>
        <Directory /home/magento/mysite.com/ >
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

        ErrorLog /home/magento/logs/apache.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn
</VirtualHost>

Thanks for any help getting this setup! As is probably obvious from this post I am pretty lost at this point.
