I think the problem is that SSL is served on a different port number
(443). Try:

- adding the SSL address to the virtual host definition, e.g.

Listen 443
<virtualhost www.mytestdomain.com:80 www.mytestdomain.com:443>
... as before

- make a new virtual host just for SSL (I'd recommend this - for
clarity)
Listen 443

<virtualhost www.mytestdomain.com:443>

DocumentRoot /secure/
         <Directory /secure/>
                SSLEngine on
                 SSLRequireSSL
                 etc..etc.. (including cert/key definitions)
         </Directory>
