Where are you trying to connect from Richard, the server or a different
machine?

Is Apache running? Try:

sean@bender:~$ ps -ef | grep apache
root     27079     1  0 Feb11 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k
start -DSSL
www-data 27098 27079  0 Feb11 ?        00:00:05 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k
start -DSSL
www-data 27099 27079  0 Feb11 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k
start -DSSL
www-data 27100 27079  0 Feb11 ?        00:00:01 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k
start -DSSL

Assuming that you are trying to connect to port 443 try the following on
the server:

sean@bender:~$ netstat -an | grep 443
tcp6       0      0 :::443                  :::*                    LISTEN


... here the second line shows that my machine is listening for
connections on port 443.

If nothing is listening then chances are you have not configured it
within ports.conf, so try:

sean@bender:~$ grep 443 /etc/apache2/*
/etc/apache2/ports.conf:Listen 443

... where the second line indicates it is configured.
