Answer 1

For Apache 2.4.6 in Ubuntu 13.10,

You will have

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf
/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

And

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf points to /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

Now, edit apache2.conf and add

    #YOUR SETTINGS

and edit sites-available/000-default.conf and change to to make apache listen localhost (on port 80) for your default settings.

Now to make mysite.localhost work, add this to sites-available/000-default.conf

    ServerName mysite.localhost

    ServerAdmin webmaster@mysite.localhost

    DocumentRoot /home/my_new_site_public_html

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

Now edit your /etc/hosts/ file and change the IP of mysite.localhost from 127.0.1.1 to 127.0.0.1

Now visit http://mysite.localhost & http://localhost
