As a trouble shooting step I left the http site up and enabled the SSL site.  Again I can get to the http site but not the https site.  I am getting no helpful messages in my logs.  I have my log level set to debug.

For one thing, when I received the .crt I was instructed to load an intermediary .crt file.  I followed the instructions on the GeoTrust site and now have this SSL configuration:

When I received the notice that the .crt was ready, the message indicated I was using some off brand, MS IIS.  I spoke with my reseller's help desk and they indicated this was not a problem.  Maybe they are wrong?
