Much happier now.

Removing the directory httpsdocs and the trailing slashes took care of my
issues... I then made some changes to the vhost.conf file to allow follow
symlinks, and all is great on the https side of things.

Thanks Todd

You can not create a symlink with the same name as a directory that
already exists. Further, the trailing "/" on your command is causing the
sub-directory problem. Delete the httpsdocs directory (this will blow away
all the files in there, so be sure you know what you are doing here) then
create the symlink:

rm -r httpsdocs/ && ln -s httpdocs/ httpsdocs
