Apache - issue with redirects & ssl

Disabled all other configs, enabled test.conf. For some reason going to either website address results in a directory listing of /var/www. Seems the vhost config isn't being loaded? so defaults to the config in apache2.conf?

I'm not very familiar with Ubuntu apache vhost config, but from what I've read, you should put the vhost config file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/test.conf and then run:

Code:

sudo a2ensite test

Run the following command to see if the vhosts defined in /etc/apache2/sites-available/test.conf are enabled

Code:

apache2ctl -S

Yes, conf lives in /etc/apache2/sites-available (where my original configs are as well, which still work when enabled).

Enabled using 'sudo a2ensite test'.
Confirmed presence in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
Ran 'sudo service apache2 reload' to apply

Just cloning the host so I can test without interrupting the sites. I'll apache2ctl once I've got it up and running.

Content of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/test.conf

Code:

<VirtualHost *:443>
 ServerName www.website1.com
 DocumentRoot /var/www/website1.com

 SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/website1.com.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/website1.com.key
    SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/website1.com.ca-bundle
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
 ServerName www.website2.com
 DocumentRoot /var/www/website2.com
 SSLEngine on
 SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/www_website2_com.crt
 SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/www_website2_com.key
 SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/www_website2_com.ca-bundle
</VirtualHost>

Results of apache2ctl -S

Code:

Result is a directory listing of /var/www when using either URL

Just realised why it its showing the dir listing - bit of idiocy on my part.

The test conf only has SSL sites configured, whereas I was going to the non-ssl address. As nothing was specified, it used the apache2.conf which states the doc root was /var/www and has indexes turned on. Bleh.
