In the guide SSL Certificates with Apache on Debian & Ubuntu, after the line:

a2enmod ssl

I had to also:

a2ensite default-ssl.conf

in order to get the website to work via https. I'm not sure if this is the right place for corrections like this or not or even if this was already widely known.

You only need to do that if you put your virtualhost config in default-ssl.conf instead of the file you were using before in step 1 of that guide.

Yeah ideally you would have your virtualhost in a file of its own like

/etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf

Then you would do

a2ensite example.com

Here is a nice guide
