Apache 2.x SSL failing -- "no listening sockets available, shutting down"

Hello, I have attempted several times on 2 platforms to install and run Apache
SSL. Linux PPC and Linux Redhat8.0

This is the build source -- httpd-2.0.44.tar.gz

I followed various ./configuration options and here are the last tried:

configured by ./configure, generated by GNU Autoconf 2.54,
with options \"'from config.status : '--prefix=/opt/apache'
'--enable-mods-shared=most' '--enable-ssl=shared'\"

I started apache on port 443, normal style. Infact, if failed as soon as I
added

I wondered, of course, if some mod_ssl package is requried in the mod
structure, but found no documentation for Apache 2.x to that effect anywhere I
looked.

== Errors ==
.../bin/apachectl start
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
============

I asked on the generic apache users list, no answer.

I am actually getting pretty concerned. This is a secure server, it doesn't
work and nobody seems to care. Many, many operations depend on this.

Take a look at
http://www.apacheworld.org/ty24/, in the secure server chapter for detailed
instructions on how to get Apache 2 working with SSL

Cheers
