Enabling apache2 and ssl - is there an easy way?

["Robert S" <robert.spam.me.senseless@gmail.com>]

I've just been spending a lot of time trying to enable apache2 and ssl in 
sarge.  I finally found a method in 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=267477, but am still having 
problems - like using a different DocumentRoot from the non-ssl apache2. 
There must be an easier way than this!  Can somebody enlighten me?
