doesn't test SSL. All the SSL is in conf.d/ssl.conf, rename it to ssl.conf.stop or whatever you like and try again. Only .conf files are read.

I would not recommend renaming it; instead, edit the file and put a hash (#) in front of all the lines. The reason is that a future upgrade of mod_ssl will install a stock ssl.conf if it's missing, whereas if it's present (and commented out) it will remain intact.

Same goes for any of the other conf.d/ files (mailman, welcome, etc). I usually comment all of them out and encapsulate the needed code into virtual include files other places, which can then be tracked in version control.
