Ok fellow coders, I am trying to configure MAMP with SSL on my mac for development purposes. I have read and tried the following instructions:
http://www.emersonlackey.com/article/mamp-with-ssl-https http://www.webopius.com/content/355/getting-mamp-working-with-ssl-on-os-x

with no luck. I can hit either 127.0.0.1 or localhost with http but both https://localhost and https://127.0.0.1 return host not found error.

looking at phpinfo, i can't see mod_ssl being loaded.

has anyone done this with os x 10.6.7? i have no idea where to go from here.

hope someone can help.

thanks

------edit start------

the following are the changes i have made to the config files to get https working. Please follow the tuts listed above to get the certificate/key created and the password removed (as also mentioned by @dallas below).

httpd.conf

Comment out the ifdef to make sure LoadModule is executed

#<IfDefine SSL>
    LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
#</IfDefine>

make sure the following is in the file...

Listen 80
ServerName localhost:80

ssl.conf

Add the following ....

<VirtualHost localhost:443>
    DocumentRoot /Users/myname/Documents/DevProjects/WebdevProjects
    ServerName localhost
    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile /Applications/MAMP/conf/ssl/server.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /Applications/MAMP/conf/ssl/server.key
</VirtualHost>

before the existing 

<VirtualHost _default_:443>

server.crt

apache ssl https mamp
