Thank you.

Just add these lines to your virtualhost config:

Code 
SSLEngine on

SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/crt/primary.crt

SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/crt/private.key

SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/ssl/crt/intermediate.crt

I am not sure is this necessary nowadays, but I think no. Anyways, if you get error about missing ssl engine, then use this.
If you don't enabled yet ssl module, then use this command before restart:

Code 
sudo a2enmod ssl

and then you can restart your apache:

Code 
sudo systemctl restart apache2

I generated my own keys via below commands:

Code 
# openssl genrsa -des3 -out "Website".key 1024

# openssl req -new -key "Website".key -out exmaple.csr

# openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in "Website".csr -signkey "Website".key -out "Website".com.crt

But when I want to browse my website then it show me "Your connection is not private".
