Oddly, I've just done that for all my domains in the past week or so. I suspect that what you need to do is modify your Apache config to tell it that the websites are on port 443 now. I have something like this at the beginning:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
# Redirect permanent / https://www.example.com/
Redirect / https://www.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
This redirects traffic that is coming in to port 80 to https. The hashed out line is because I've not switched the redirect to permanent yet, and will replace the line below when I do.
Then the port 443 section for the actual site:
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@???

StartSSL are pretty good for a basic free SSL certificate, although it needs yearly renewal.
Actually, I say beginning, my config is split into separate files, one for each domain, so if you are using a single httpd.conf you'll need to locate these bit appropriately.
