Ssl – How to configure Apache 2.4.6 for wildcard SSL

Apache 2.4.6
Ubuntu 13.10

I'm trying to find out how to configure the above Apache to use a wildcard ssl certificate. So far I have had no luck whatsoever. I either get errors where apache won't start or I get an SSL error from the browser.

Since upgrading to 2.4.6 I haven't been able to get apache to start unless I remove the ssl configuration directives.

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf

<VirtualHost _default_:443>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/wiki
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/wiki.ssl-error.log
    SSLEngine On
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/40B75eaaadb70.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/xxx.com.key
    #SSLCACertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/wiki
    ServerName wiki.xxx.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
   DocumentRoot /var/www/assets/itdb
   ServerName assets.xxx.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
   DocumentRoot /var/www/support19
   ServerName support.xxx.com
</VirtualHost>` 

/etc/apache2/ports.conf

# If you just change the port or add more ports here, you will likely also
# have to change the VirtualHost statement in
# /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

Listen 80

<IfModule ssl_module>
    Listen 443
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_gnutls.c>
    Listen 443
</IfModule>

# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet

I changed the default-ssl.conf file as follows:

<VirtualHost *:443>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/wiki
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/wiki.ssl-error.log
    SSLEngine On
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/40B75eaaadb70.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/xxx.com.key
    ServerName wiki.xxx.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost assets.xxx.com:443>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/assets
    ServerName assets.xxx.com
    SSLEngine On
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/40B75eaaadb70.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/xxx.com.key
</VirtualHost>

With the above configuration file the SSL will work but it seems to ignore the second virtual host. If I use the host support or assets it just shows the support website. I also tried replacing the *:443 and default:443 with support.xxx.com but when I do that I'm back to getting the SSL error in the browser. Thus the only thing I've been able to get the SSL working only allows for one site to be displayed. Once again, I'm using a wildcard cert.
