[chef] Need help with apache2 cookbook

[< >]

Hi, 

I'm an infant with this stuff. I have a site.rb file, which has the 
following: 

web_app "site.com" do
  server_name "site.com"
  server_aliases [ "www.site.com" ]
  docroot "/var/www/vhosts/site.com"
end

I have two questions: 

1. How do I actually get this site recipe to generate the SSL config for the
virtual host? 
2. I defined docroot path, which I thought chef would create the directory for
me, but alas, it didn't. Do I need to create it on manually, or am I doing it
incorrectly? 

There is a likely chance that I'm a total idiot, and I'm doing a lot of things
incorrectly, so please bear with my noobie questions. 

Thanks.
