I have this working, SSL is setup for Drupal 7
1.) At the bottom of apache2.conf file in /etc/apache2
#setup name based virtual hosting instead of IP based (JLB) NameVirtualHost *:443 NameVirtualHost *:80
2.) In /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl
Make sure in below AllowOverride is set to all and not none! (2 instances of this in the file)
Make sure you've setup and generated these files as listed in the file below:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/drupalprod.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/server.key
SSLCACertificateFile /etc/ssl/intermediate.crt
Most folks have trouble with their certs because they forget the intermedite.crt file I believe
>VirtualHost *:443>

3.) In the sites-available directory when you setup your file for your virtual
host that will have SSL on it make sure it uses port 443 and not 80
