Create virtual host config /etc/apache2/sites-available/drupal.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName www.mydrupal.co
        DocumentRoot /var/www/drupal

        # Redirect http to https
        RedirectMatch 301 (.*) https://www.mydrupal.co$1
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost _default_:443>

        # Server Info
        ServerName www.mydrupal.co
        ServerAlias mydrupal.co
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        # Web root
        DocumentRoot /var/www/drupal

        # Log configuration
        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/drupal-error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/drupal-access.log combined

        #   Enable/Disable SSL for this virtual host.
        SSLEngine on

        # Self signed SSL Certificate file
        SSLCertificateFile      /etc/apache2/ssl/drupalssl.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/drupalssl.key

        <Directory "/var/www/drupal">
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride All
                Require all granted
        </Directory>

        <FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$">
                        SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
        </FilesMatch>
        <Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin>
                        SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
        </Directory>

        BrowserMatch "MSIE [2-6]" \
                        nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
                        downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
        # MSIE 7 and newer should be able to use keepalive
        BrowserMatch "MSIE [17-9]" ssl-unclean-shutdown

</VirtualHost>

Enable new virtual host:

# check config
apachectl configtest

# enable new host
a2ensite drupal

# disable default host config
a2dissite 000-default

systemctl restart apache2
