It really does sound like there's something else listening on port 443:


"Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not

no listening sockets available, shutting down"


That's usually what this message means.  You said:


Oh, and there isn't anything else listening to port 443:
/sbin/fuser -4 -n udp 443
gives a null result.


... except that it's tcp, not udp, that we care about here.

Apologies; tcp gives a null result also. I'm pretty sure nothing but httpd is
listening there.


As for your httpd.conf, it looks sort of close, although the
"<VirtualHost <my ip address>:443>" block needs to have the SSL
certificate and key configuration directives as well as some other
stuff (see the example httpd.conf that comes with mod_ssl), and the
"<VirtualHost *:80>" block should NOT contain "SSLEngine on".

The "SSLEngine on" in <VirtualHost *:80> was an error on my part, in tidying up the sample I accidentally
pasted a duplicate in the wrong place - it's _not_ in the httpd.conf

However the key information really is missing. So it looks like this may be a problem in the fedora httpd configuration tool, because the key information definitely is there in the virtual host configuration in the gui, it's just not getting saved for some reason. Probably, I have a syntax error somewhere (but even so, the tool shouldn't fail it silently). I think this takes it out of modssl, so my next step will be to check the fedora mailing lists, and report it as a bug if it hasn't been already. Then I guess I'll have to take the plunge,
and edit the httpd.conf manually.

Hope this helps,
--Cliff
