All you should need is the following then...

----
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.1:80>
RedirectMatch permanent .* https://newsitename$1
</VirtualHost>
----

All other environment variables will get inherited, so nothing else to
define inside of that virtual host container.

Right, you does need the "match" portion to match even on a wildcard
string.
