Add https (443) to iptables

Need to open a port for https access.
Fix IPATABLES to allow port 443

[root]# /sbin/iptables -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp --destination-port 443 -j ACCEPT

Open access through other firewalls
Not shown for clarity.

Get Apache to listen to https.
This is the more interesting aspect, as I run virtual hosts, and that does not play well with https. I think I can do it if only one host needs https.

Good info here.
Ok, add the Listen 443 and I can connect to the server through port 443. I need to do a little more reading to get the certificate set up and usable.
