VirtualHost always returns default host with Apache on Ubuntu 14.04

Question

I try to setup a virtual host besides the default localhost. Whenever I try to call my virtual host http://test I get the default Apache2 Index file t

Answer 1

tl;dr: Call it with sudo: sudo service apache2 reload

Looks like the behaviour of service apache2 reload fooled me. See the following log:

user@Laptop:/etc/apache2/sites-available$ sudo a2ensite test.conf 
Enabling site test.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
  service apache2 reload
user@Laptop:/etc/apache2/sites-available$ service apache2 reload
 * Reloading web server apache2                                                  * 
user@Laptop:/etc/apache2/sites-available$

Try to reach http://test: NOT working

user@Laptop:/etc/apache2/sites-available$ sudo service apache2 reload
 * Reloading web server apache2                                                  * 
user@Laptop:/etc/apache2/sites-available$

Try to reach http://test: WORKING

So, find the difference! The point is that I thought it would've reloaded correctly in the first place. There are no entries in the log files either. Calling it with sudo helped. Is this a bug?
