Uh, it would appear that you have another apache running on port 443.
Do a "ps -ax" and see if there's other httpd processes running.  If so,
odds are that the rh9 install installed the default apache2 server and
your startup scripts are starting it.  I can't recall if it does an
SSL daemon or not.

You can kill those apache2 processes by doing

	/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop

Then use "redhat-config-services" to disable Red Hat's apache server.
You need to add your own startup script or modify Red Hat's to run your
server.
