missing SSL configuration

I've create a new self-signed cert from cPanel however the SSL isn't working with the error log

Code:

Invalid method in request \x80e\x01\x03\x01

Investigation found that there's also no SSL configuration for the domain in the httpd.conf except the default.

The private keys and cert is found in the home path /home/xxxx/ssl instead of the usual /etc/ssl

Is there anything I've mis-configured?
