Though I don't have a response yet. Issue already resolved Hope this helps someone else I had V-hosts on same IP for http and https On the former <VirtualHost --IP-Addr--> was changed to <VirtualHost --IP-Addr--:80> and that's it. Since I didn't have the port # 80, the server didn't allow the SSL connection to the 443 port, it was intercepted by the first V-host. though netstat showed server listening on port 443, apache's port 80 V-host would intercept and throw back the error.
