Secure page with SSL in Apache and Document Root - security

Question

i created the certificates with OpenSSL for use in localhost.
Fine, but when I set VirtualHost in Apache, if I set DocumentRoot the page is loaded normal, without a different mark in address bar.
When I don't specify a DocumentRoot, the Firefox load the Xampp page, but with secure mark in adress bar.
My actual Vhost is:
<VirtualHost *:443>
SSLEngine On
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL
ServerName www.agurbana.com.br
SSLCertificateFile "E:/agenda.crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile "E:/server_unsecured.key"
SSLCACertificatePath "E:/"
SSLCACertificateFile "E:/ca.crt"
<FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|pl|asp|php)$">
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
</FilesMatch>
DocumentRoot "E:/SITES/AU2/"
ErrorLog "E:/error.log"
<Directory "E:/SITES/AU2/">
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
BrowserMatch ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
</VirtualHost>
how I can do appear a secure mark in address bar when i set up DocumentRoot?

By chance, do you also have a vhost set-up to listen to port:80 in your httpd-vhosts.conf file?
In that case, the scheme will be determined by the user, not by the server. You can get rid of the :80 listener, but now the user has to remember to type https, which is bad. Therefore use Apache re-directs to force usage of SSL, e.g. http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-apache-force-https-secure-connections.html
