Setup an SSL certificate on an EC2 instance
Sometimes this section
<VirtualHost _default_:443>prevents your real SSL certificate from being used. If this is the case either comment VirtualHost default or move the SSLCertificate* attributes to it, ie.
<VirtualHost _default_:443> SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/mydomain_com.key SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/mydomain_com.crt SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/ssl/mydomain_com.ca-bundle</VirtualHost>Make sure you restart apache after that.
Amazon now provide a certificate manager! (for free)
If you use Elastic Beanstalk this is the new way to do:It's free, You avoids errors due to the configuration and it's a better choice on a performance point of vue:
Because ELB supports SSL offload, deploying a certificate to a load balancer (rather than to the EC2 instances behind it) will reduce the amount of encryption and decryption work that the instances need to handle.
from the doc:
The new AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) is designed to simplify and automate many of the tasks traditionally associated with management of SSL/TLS certificates. ACM takes care of the complexity surrounding the provisioning, deployment, and renewal of digital certificates! Certificates provided by ACM are verified by Amazon’s certificate authority (CA), Amazon Trust Services (ATS).
Even better, you can do all of this at no extra cost. SSL/TLS certificates provisioned through AWS Certificate Manager are free!
ACM will allow you to start using SSL in a matter of minutes. After your request a certificate, you can deploy it to your Elastic Load Balancers and your Amazon CloudFront distributions with a couple of clicks. After that, ACM can take care of the periodic renewals without any action on your part.

Looking at your list, it happens that you forget to enable your configuration with your Virtual host.
