Configuring an SSL certificate in Apache for a Django application (mod_wsgi)

Question

I purchased an SSL certificate from namecheap.com and posted the necessary files on my Ubuntu server (key and crt). I use mod_wsgi to serve my Django application with Apache. I'm having trouble installing an SSL certificate.

Current configuration (/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf)

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin [e-mail]
        #DocumentRoot /var/www/html

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

        #Django Application
        Alias /static /home/Django/professor/static_root
        <Directory /home/Django/professor/static_root>
                Require all granted
        </Directory>
        <Directory /home/Django/professor/professor>
                <Files wsgi.py>
                        Require all granted
                </Files>
        </Directory>

        WSGIDaemonProcess professor python-path=/home/Django/professor:/home/Django/professor-vm/lib/python2.7/site-packages
        WSGIProcessGroup professor
        WSGIScriptAlias / /home/Django/professor/professor/wsgi.py

        #ServerName example.com
        #SSLEngine on
        #SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.crt
        #SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.key
        #SSLCACertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/intermediate.crt

</VirtualHost>

I commented out the lines for the SSL certificate. Currently, my application is working fine, but when I uncomment the lines to include an SSL certificate, my site is serving files from / var / www, not the application. Any ideas?

, apache 80, https ( 443).

    ServerName example.com
    ServerAdmin [e-mail]

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
