I've setup a website on an Ubuntu 15.04 LAMP server. Whenever I try to navigate to the site, I just get the default apache page. I've disabled the 000-default.conf and enable OSSEC-WUI.conf (the name of my site's configuration file in /etc/apache2/site-available). However, I'm still getting the default apache page. What do I need to do to get my site to display?
Here's how I setup my apache2.conf file:
configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/ for detailed information about
the directives and /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian about Debian specific
hints.

Summary of how the Apache 2 configuration works in Debian:
The Apache 2 web server configuration in Debian is quite different to
upstream's suggested way to configure the web server. This is because Debian's
default Apache2 installation attempts to make adding and removing modules,
virtual hosts, and extra configuration directives as flexible as possible, in
order to make automating the changes and administering the server as easy as
possible.
It is split into several files forming the configuration hierarchy outlined
below, all located in the /etc/apache2/ directory:
#
/etc/apache2/
|-- apache2.conf
| `-- ports.conf
|-- mods-enabled
| |-- *.load
| `-- *.conf
|-- conf-enabled
| `-- *.conf
`-- sites-enabled
`-- *.conf
#
#
* apache2.conf is the main configuration file (this file). It puts the pieces
together by including all remaining configuration files when starting up the
web server.
#
* ports.conf is always included from the main configuration file. It is
supposed to determine listening ports for incoming connections which can be
customized anytime.
#
* Configuration files in the mods-enabled/, conf-enabled/ and sites-enabled/
directories contain particular configuration snippets which manage modules,
global configuration fragments, or virtual host configurations,
respectively.
#
They are activated by symlinking available configuration files from their
respective *-available/ counterparts. These should be managed by using our
helpers a2enmod/a2dismod, a2ensite/a2dissite and a2enconf/a2disconf. See
their respective man pages for detailed information.
#
* The binary is called apache2. Due to the use of environment variables, in
the default configuration, apache2 needs to be started/stopped with
/etc/init.d/apache2 or apache2ctl. Calling /usr/bin/apache2 directly will not
work with the default configuration.
Global configuration
#
#
ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
NOTE! If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)
mounted filesystem then please read the Mutex documentation (available
at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#mutex>);
you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
#
Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.
#
ServerRoot "/etc/apache2"
#
The accept serialization lock file MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL DISK.
#
Mutex file:${APACHE_LOCK_DIR} default
#
PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process
identification number when it starts.
This needs to be set in /etc/apache2/envvars
#
PidFile ${APACHE_PID_FILE}
#
Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
#
Timeout 300
#
KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than
one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.
#
KeepAlive On
#
MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow
during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.
We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.
#
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
#
KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the
same client on the same connection.
#
KeepAliveTimeout 5
These need to be set in /etc/apache2/envvars
User ${APACHE_RUN_USER}
Group ${APACHE_RUN_GROUP}
#
HostnameLookups: Log the names of clients or just their IP addresses
e.g., www.apache.org (on) or 204.62.129.132 (off).
The default is off because it'd be overall better for the net if people
had to knowingly turn this feature on, since enabling it means that
each client request will result in AT LEAST one lookup request to the
nameserver.
#
HostnameLookups Off
ErrorLog: The location of the error log file.
If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a
container, error messages relating to that virtual host will be
logged here. If you do define an error logfile for a
container, that host's errors will be logged there and not here.
#
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
#
LogLevel: Control the severity of messages logged to the error_log.
Available values: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
error, crit, alert, emerg.
It is also possible to configure the log level for particular modules, e.g.
"LogLevel info ssl:warn"
#
LogLevel warn
Include module configuration:
IncludeOptional mods-enabled/.load
IncludeOptional mods-enabled/.conf
Include list of ports to listen on
Include ports.conf
Sets the default security model of the Apache2 HTTPD server. It does
not allow access to the root filesystem outside of /usr/share and /var/www.
The former is used by web applications packaged in Debian,
the latter may be used for local directories served by the web server. If
your system is serving content from a sub-directory in /srv you must allow
access here, or in any related virtual host.

AccessFileName: The name of the file to look for in each directory
for additional configuration directives. See also the AllowOverride
directive.
#

#
The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being
viewed by Web clients.
#

#
The following directives define some format nicknames for use with
a CustomLog directive.
#
These deviate from the Common Log Format definitions in that they use %O
(the actual bytes sent including headers) instead of %b (the size of the
requested file), because the latter makes it impossible to detect partial
requests.
#
Note that the use of %{X-Forwarded-For}i instead of %h is not recommended.
Use mod_remoteip instead.
#
LogFormat "%v:%p %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %O \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" vhost_combined
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %O \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %O" common
LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer
LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent
Include of directories ignores editors' and dpkg's backup files,
see README.Debian for details.
Include generic snippets of statements
IncludeOptional conf-enabled/*.conf
Include the virtual host configurations:
IncludeOptional sites-enabled/*.conf
vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet
And here's how I setup my OSSEC-WUI.conf file:
vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet
Thanks in advance for your help!
