There might be no reference to any ssl.conf in the httpd.conf, it may be 

that the whole conf.d directory is included with something like

Include /path/to/conf.d/*.conf

Look into your httpd.conf file.

1. You can have Include ssl.conf or conf/extra/httpd_ssl.conf or some
other name (some Linux distros repackage config file)

2. Nothing prevent an admin from putting SSL config into httpd.conf 

directly

in any case READ YOUR HTTPD.CONF file.

apachectl is just a simple script that call httpd with different
command line parameters, there is no code in apachectl that reads any
config files.

1. In that case why is the server even looking into the file
/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf ?

2. When or where in the Server code does it look for ssl.conf ? Basically
I'm looking for the initial steps that occur once we call apachectl start

Thanks again.
