curl: (35) error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number

After setting SSL in the Apache default-ssl.conf file I was not able to access the website using https which was showing ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR.

Also the curl command was showing the following error:

curl: (35) error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number

Fix:

sudo a2ensite default-ssl

and restart apache2.

Note: Before that you need to ensure following modules are also enabled in apache.

sudo a2enmod ssl

sudo a2enmod headers

sudo a2enconf ssl-params
