Can't you use http temporarily?
By default https is handled by inetd, so editing /etc/inetd.conf and uncommenting the httpd and https entries (the first two lines) and signaling inetd should be enought:
sed -i 's/^#https/https/' /etc/inetd.conf # uncomment https
rcinetd reload # make inetd reread conf file
If instead you put https running as a server, try:
ln /usr/sbin/rcscript /sbin/rcstunnel
rcstunnel start
if you changed port numbers it might be more complicated, please post /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/httpd.conf
