root@www:~#

vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

root@www:~#

a2enmod rewrite

To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
  systemctl restart apache2

root@www:~#

systemctl restart apache2
