Enrique,
Perhaps its because you're using 'localhost', which makes the server bind to
127.0.0.1, which is not accessible outside your machine.
Try using <Virtualhost _default_:443> instead. Btw, the _'s are to tell
Apache it's a magic word, not to be snitty, so keep them in. ;)

Subject: connection to vhost from the internet
Hi,
I'm running a normal host (port 80) and a vhost for ssl. Everything
works fine when accessed locally -- http://localhost <http://localhost>
and https://localhost/secure <https://localhost/secure> -- but when I
access from the internet the browser gets stuck waiting for a reply from
the vhost.
The connection is through an ISP, so they give me a temporary
address x.y.z.u each time I connect, and then I test the web pages using
http://x.y.z.u <http://x.y.z.u> and https://x.y.z.u/secure
<https://x.y.z.u/secure> . With http there's no problem, but I can't
access to the secure pages with https://x.y.z.u/secure
<https://x.y.z.u/secure> .
I defined the vhost as follows:
<VirtualHost localhost:443>
port 443
ServerAdmin root@localhost
DocumentRoot /home/www/htdocs/secure
ServerName localhost
ErrorLog /usr/local/apache/var/log/error_log
TransferLog /usr/local/apache/var/log/access_log
SSLEngine on
SSLCACertificatePath /usr/local/apache/apache_1.3.3/conf/ssl.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile
/usr/local/apache/apache_1.3.3/conf/ssl.key/server.key
SSLCertificateFile
/usr/local/apache/apache_1.3.3/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
#SSLCACertificateFile
/usr/local/apache/apache_1.3.3/conf/ssl.crt/ca-bundle-client.crt
SSLVerifyClient none
SSLVerifyDepth 10
SSLLog /usr/local/apache/var/log/ssl_engine_log
SSLlogDevel debug
</VirtualHost>
Perhaps am I missing something important in the configuration of the
vhost?
Why can I access the secure pages only with https://localhost/secure
<https://localhost/secure> and not https://x.y.z.u/secure
<https://x.y.z.u/secure> ?
TIA --E.
