If you can connect to the server by HTTPS but not to your  
webapps .... that sounds to me like an Apache module loading order  
problem.  Mostly I deal with 1.3.26 on MacOSX 10.1.5 and 1.3.33 on  
MacOSX 10.4.x, where my sequence of LoadModule/AddModule directives  
now looks like

		...
	LoadModule bonjour_module     libexec/httpd/mod_bonjour.so
	LoadModule jk_module libexec/httpd/mod_jk.so
	LoadModule WebObjects_module /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/ 
Apache/mod_WebObjects.so
	LoadModule rewrite_module     libexec/httpd/mod_rewrite.so
	LoadModule ssl_module         libexec/httpd/libssl.so
	...
	AddModule mod_bonjour.c
	AddModule mod_jk.c
	AddModule mod_WebObjects.c
	AddModule mod_rewrite.c
	AddModule mod_ssl.c

This bit
	# Including WebObjects Configs
	Include /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache/apache.conf

further down httpd.conf will then cause a 'module mod_WebObjects.so  
already loaded' warning when Apache starts which you can ignore.
