Where does it specify that you need 000-default.conf in apache2.4.x

Question

I deleted this file 000-default.conf and put my own in instead. In the default apache2.conf line 219

IncludeOptional sites-enabled/*.conf

however when I restart apache

apache2: Syntax error on line 219 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf: No such file or directory
Action 'restart' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.

all I have is:

my-pc sites-available # ls -l
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6437 Jan  7  2014 default-ssl.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  271 Aug 29 22:12 mysite.conf

My guess would be that you deleted /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf but left the symlink at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf, which is now a dead link. Is that the case?

all I see in nautilus is default.ssl and mysite.conf – Nikos Aug 29 '14 at 19:49
Use `ls -l` on the command line instead of nautilus? – Shane Madden Aug 29 '14 at 19:50
don't see anything. – Nikos Aug 29 '14 at 19:51
Run `ls -l` in `sites-enabled` (the directory that is being loaded from, not in `sites-available` as you have in your edit. – Shane Madden Aug 29 '14 at 20:38

I think you have removed 000-default.conf files.But symlink is still available.

So you need to disable it.

sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf

you have to disable the site 000-default like it's mentioned in the other comment. In order to make your site work with apache configuration you need to enable it using a2ensite mysite.conf . This will create a symbolic link in sites-enabled directory and apache will be able to load the virtual host. – sandeep.s85 May 10 '15 at 06:31
