Hi!
today I installed an Apache with SSL support. My Idea
is to provide both kinds of access to the RequestTracker.
My problem is that I read that it is not okay to run 2 instances
of RT on the same Apache-Machine. But now I think I have one instance
on port 80 and one on port 443. Hope you can send me some advice
bye!

This sounds like you want two Apache virtual hosts talking to
the one RT instance, not multiple RT instances.
While I’ve never done this, you might find it easier to use
mod_proxy to proxy the SSL connection back to the non-SSL virtual
host locally. http://fsck.com/rtfm/article.html?id=2#101 might
give you a starting point.
(And if you do this, please summarise your config to the list so
we can document it for the next person who asks. 
Good luck!

Use virtual hosts in apache. The same instance of apache can handle
both normal and ssl connections and route them to the same places.
The only place this will “break” in RT is where you need to hard-code
the base URL into the config.pm file. You’ll have to choose one or
the other. Personally, I always access RT via SSL so I can do bug
tracking, and/or customer support securely from, say a wireless LAN at
a technical conference 3000 miles from home.
