I'm not an expert in this stuff, but I'd suggest 1. Move SSLVerifyDepth out of the <Directory> section. According to the docs, this will force a renegotiation when placed there. (And you are just repeating the default anyway, so you can probably remove it entirely.) 2. Tell us what the error log says and what you are seeing in the access log.
