Ravindra Bagale's Tip

a2ensite kela pan 000-default.conf disable kela nahi, tar Ubuntu cha default page disat rahto. sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf aani mag configtest + reload. Kontya site enabled aahet te ls /etc/apache2/sites-enabled ne bagha.

Lab

Host mysite with Apache on Ubuntu and list enabled sites and modules (apache2ctl -M | grep rewrite).
