It's not so bad.  The main things are :

  - You can't have more than 1 SSL site per IP:port combination.
  - You have to specify a port for every virtual host (80, 443, or  
otherwise) in the <VirtualHost>.  There are differences in using  
named virtual hosts vs. ip-based virtual hosts that can be confusing,  
but if you only have 1 IP <VirtualHost *:80> or <VirtualHost *:443>  
will do fine.

The only directives you need in the VirtualHost are :
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile file.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile file.key

Other directives may be desireable/useful, but those 3 will make it  
'go'.
