You need a cert and a key. When you compiled apache with mod_ssl, and
did "make install", they should have been installed for you. Anyway,
they go in your apache conf dir (e.g. /usr/local/apache/conf) in their
own directories ssl.crt and ssl.key - then you have to point to the key
and cert in httpd.conf: 

SSLCertificateFile    /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.key/server.key

Make sure the key and the ssl.key directory are readable ONLY by root -
i.e. permissions 400.
