Hi Andy.
Process basically include getting/creating a certificate, define it on
your site and reload apache.
here is a centos manual which is not exactly the same on ubuntu but
pretty much explains the order of things
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Https
on ubuntu you will have to open the 443 port
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
Listen 443
</IfModule>
once the https is ready, you can do a redirect to the https site from
http. (with mod_rewrite)
do you have logs or any information on what is not working?

I have been using apache for maybe ten years now, and maintain two

All using Ubuntu Linux *.04 LTS. It now appears that I ought to convert
from http to https.
But the documentation is insane. A piece here, a piece there, have to do
X (but first? and afterwards?). Assuming everything is else is OK, this
is way you edit this line in VirtualHost file (there is no
"/etc/apache2/.../VirtualHost" file!)
I figure that I need to do it in two steps:
[1] Get the https version up and running, and
[2] Make the http version automatically switch to https.
But I can't get https working at all, for anything. There's a "Listen
443" in /etc/apache2/ports.conf but 'nmap localhost' says 443 is a
closed port.
Has anybody else ever converted a hosted site from http to https? What
did you have to do to get the secure one working?
