I'm running 14.04 and myth .27. I have SSL and mythweb working just fine,
and have for many versions. I don't remember having to do anything special
to get SSL to work with mythweb. When I get a chance I'll look over my
apache config files. It has been a long time since I set that up, but I
serve multiple things under /var/www via SSL.
