What does your log say? I am trying to much the same but with a redirect instead of a rewrite and found this helpful:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/avoid.html

Thank you for the reply.

My log access.log says only this:

XXX.XXX.XXX.XX - - [08/Feb/2015:03:58:03 +0000] "HEAD / HTTP/1.1" 200 2142 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0 (Chrome)"

XXX.XXX.XXX.XX - - [08/Feb/2015:03:58:04 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 4104 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0 (Chrome)"

The error.log says nothing.

Next, I exchanged <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> for the "Redirect". But it shows the following errors.

root@hostname:~# tail -n 6 /etc/apache2/mods-available/ssl.conf

<VirtualHost *:443>

        ServerName www.mydomain.com

        Redirect / https://www.mydomain.com/

</VirtualHost>

# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet

root@hostname:~# service apache2 restart

                                                                         [fail]

I think I already installed SSL certificate...
