SSL is already being used by www.domain.com which shares the same IP
address, xx.xx.xxx.xx, as this site. SSL can only be enabled for one
site using a shared IP address. Change the IP address of this site or
disable SSL for www.domain.com if you want to enable SSL for this site. 

What does this mean exactly?

SSL Is a brat ... when you register with whomever, you need to specify an IP
address.
Well, your cobalt will basically listen to: X.X.X.X:443 for that site and
that site
ALONE ... I never looked for a hack, but I do not think so ... So,
unfortunately, your
pretty much stuck with 1 IP per SSL site.  But the upside is that you can
still run
multiple VHOSTS, just they can't have SSL on them ...

What some people like to do is create a generic domain, and just host
people's SSL.
I know it isn't has convenient, but ... it makes you more money, and saves
the head
aches of worrying about getting more ip addresses if they are scarce.
