Steve,

in /etc/httpd/config/vhosts/Vhost.conf

NameVirtualHost w.x.y.z:80

   <VirtualHost w.x.y.z:80>
     DocumentRoot /your/host/dir/here
     ServerName your.domain.name
   </VirtualHost>

in /etc/httpd/conf.d/41_mod_ssl.default-vhost.conf

NameVirtualHost w.x.y.z:443

   <VirtualHost w.x.y.z:443>

#  General setup for the virtual host

     DocumentRoot "/your/host/dir/here"
     ServerName your.domain.name
     ServerAdmin admin at domain.name
   </VirtualHost>
====================================================

Review the settings in the 41_mod_ssl file to make sure everything is 
turned on properly.

Good luck
