now configured https, restart apache2 service enable new settings:

sudo service apache2 restart 

you might want redirect http request https, add code below virtualhost file listening port 80. redirect http request https (https://example.com)

<virtualhost _default_:80>  rewriteengine on      rewriterule /.* https://example.com/ [r]  </virtualhost>
