generated at compile time.

Try http://www.thawte.com/certs/server/keygen/mod_ssl.html
They provide a very brief explanation of how to create a self signed cert,
a cert signing request and a public key using openssl.

>How does a minimal virtual host setting look like in httpd.conf?

<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443>
        DocumentRoot    /home/xxx/www/docs
        ServerName      www.balbalba.de
        ErrorLog        /home/xxx/www/logs/error_log
        TransferLog     /home/xxx/www/logs/access_log
        ScriptAlias     /cgi-bin/ /home/xxx/www/cgi-bin/
        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile
/usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.crt/www.blablalba.de.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile
/usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.key/www.blablalba.de.key
        SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
        CustomLog /usr/local/apache/logs/ssl_request_log "%t %h
%{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHE
</VirtualHost>


Hoping that this helps,
