The error.log says nothing.

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

You probably could have left that entry in and just added the Redirect statement (not sure what flavor of OS you are using).

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

 * Restarting web server apache2                                                Action 'start' failed.

The Apache error log may have more information.

                                                                         [fail]

 * The apache2 instance did not start within 20 seconds. Please read the log files to discover problems

Add Debug to your loglevel and try to restart. That should give a little more info.
