Solved - stupid human error trick...

Hello,
I'm aware that if the Drupal Secure Pages "Enable Secure Pages" "enable" radio button is not active, then, from what I have researched, my SSL configuration on my Linode VPN Ubuntu 8.10 LAMP server does not meet Ubercart or Secure Pages requirements. My problem is, I cannot find any sort of documentation as to how to correct this.
If I set up SSL using a guide such as this:
http://www.tc.umn.edu/~brams006/selfsign_ubuntu.html
or this:
http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Apache2_SSL_in_Ubuntu
can anyone point me in the right direction as to what specifics the Ubercart and or Secure Pages modules require for an SSL enabled Apache server?
SSL is working for me on a virtual host I set up for a phpMyAdmin site. With Drupal, SSL works when I navigate to the root of the site, but not for any pages, unless I disable clean urls. Then I can enable the Secure Pages module and navigate to https://... , but when I return to the 'Clean URLs' section, I cannot re-enable clean urls, without disabling Secure Pages... so I'm stuck with either Secure Pages or Clean URLs... but both are required.
Web server specifics are: Apache/2.2.9 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.6-2ubuntu4.1 with Suhosin-Patch mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8g
I am double posting this on both the Ubercart site and the Drupal Secure Pages module as there are eyes on both that, I believe, can use the support and offer the support.

Thanks
