I'm not an expert on this subject. But this is my guess:

mod_ssl is working fine and the 403 error is occuring because of your web server configuration. Try placing a file (such as index.html) in the root directory of your webserver (/var/www is the most common path I've seen), then pointing your web browser to it specifically, like so:

https://yourservername/index.html

Be sure to include the HTTPS not HTTP to test your mod_ssl.

Hope this helps!
