apache2 and ssl module

Question

I am trying to enable ssl for a django webapp in apache webserver in ubuntu lucid.I followed this article on configuring apache for ssl I have unpacked the apache2 tar.gz file from apache website . When I checked the folders ,I found that it does not contain any sites-available directory or sites-enabled directory.

How do I proceed? should I delete the entire apache folder and build using source code?

Please advise.

I would install webmin.. in webmin you just go to servers->apache->modules and activate the checkbox "ssl" after apache reboot ssl is activated. You can also edit your ssl options in the webmin configuration. I am a software developer and not an administrator so webmin saved me a lot of problems and time, maybe it will help you too.
