I seem to remember reading somewhere that what you are trying to do is
impossible.

You can't run virtual hosts and a secure server from the same instance of httpd.

The reason is (I believe) that you need to be able to inspect the incoming
request to determine which virtual host it is for, but with a secure server
you can't do that. Maybe someone who understands apache better can give a
better reason.
