You have not defined an SSL certificate for the site to use (and likely have not generated one, either). You cannot simply turn on SSL, there needs to be a cert to perform the encryption and signing.

so can u tell me which other enteries are also required to configure a secure site.
i reconfigured the file like this
</VirtualHost 192.168.0.254>
[previous enteries]
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key
SSLCACertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/ca-bundle.crt
</VirtualHost>
it is working but when i open it from an windows machine then it give an invalid certificate error but i proceed further it shows contents of my website.

Why it is showing an invalid certificate.
