I decided to delete all the related files and directories and start over and now it works. I think what happened was that I originally built Apache without mod_ssl and for some reason simply rebuilding it didn't over write the original build. Once I deleted the Apache directory structure and rebuilt and reinstalled everything it worked without a hitch. I'm guessing that I probably only needed to delete some configuration file or something but I don't know exactly which file(s) that would have been. It was just easier to delete the whole mess and rebuild. Thanks everyone who offered assistance, Linn
