How do I set up the Apache conf file for SSL connections?

I am extremely new to the Linux world and have set up my first Apache web server on Xubuntu.  I have a couple sites running fine using virtual hosts.  However, I need to enable an SSL connection to one of them and am failing miserably.

I have purchased the certificate and generated all the keys needed.  I've followed several tutorials I've found on how to set up Apache for this but they're not working for me.  I am still able to connect to my site normally but connecting with https gives me a "Connection was interrupted" error in Firefox.

Here is my Default config file:
 

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
	ServerName *.mysite.com
	DocumentRoot /ebs/websites/default
	<Directory />
		Options FollowSymLinks
		AllowOverride None
	</Directory>
	<Directory /ebs/websites/default/>
		Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
		AllowOverride None
		Order allow,deny
		allow from all
	</Directory>
	DirectoryIndex index.cfm index.html
</VirtualHost>

And here is the default-ssl config file in its current state (it's gone through many iterations as I've wrestled with this):

 

<VirtualHost *:443>
	 	ServerAdmin paul@mysite.com
                DocumentRoot /ebs/websites/default
                ServerName mysite.com:443
                ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
                SSLEngine on
		SSLProxyEngine On
                SSLProtocol all
                SSLCertificateFile /ebs/websites/ssl/certificate.crt
                SSLCertificateKeyFile /ebs/websites/ssl/PrivateKey.key
                SSLCertificateChainFile /ebs/websites/ssl/intermediate.crt
                ServerPath /default
	<Directory /ebs/websites/default/>
		Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
		AllowOverride None
		Order allow,deny
		allow from all
	</Directory>
	DirectoryIndex index.cfm index.html
		BrowserMatch "MSIE [2-6]" \
		nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
		downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
		# MSIE 7 and newer should be able to use keepalive
		BrowserMatch "MSIE [17-9]" ssl-unclean-shutdown

</VirtualHost>

Any help?
