Virtual host on ubuntu 13.10 and apache 2.4.6

Question

I have the following problem
My hosts file is as follows:

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       barbala4o-HP-ProBook-4530s
127.0.1.1       mysite.local         


        

Answer 1

I found the problem after 3h of experimenting. Apparently in the new Ubuntu 13.10 for some stupid reason the conf file for the virtual host has to look similar to this:

        ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
        ServerName  mysite.localhost
        ServerAlias mysite.localhost

        # Indexes + Directory Root.
        DocumentRoot /var/www/mysite/public_html

         
                DirectoryIndex index.php
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride All
                Require all granted
        

        # Logfiles
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/mysite-error.log
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/mysite-access.log common

Apparently the guys that developed Ubuntu 13.10 decided that it is no longer valuable to use

when making a virtual host and instead it has to be

mixed with specifically specifying DirectoryIndex. This fixed the problem i had and now things are working(hopefully as they should, something may come up eventually) Apparently the configuration file of apache is different.
