mod_ssl is pre-packaged with with RH 7.1. The config items are in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file, starting with:
SSLEngine on
When you say your "super cert" I'm guessing you mean your server cert. You need to put that cert in the /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt directory (and then run the 'make' command there), and then put your cert's corresponding private key file in the /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key directory.
Then, in your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file, you need to edit these two lines to point to your new cert and its key:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/your-thawte-server-cert-filename.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/your-thawte-cert-private-key-filename.key
Then, run
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
You should be able to see your default home page using https://your.site.name/
rather than http://your.site.name/
