Restructured Apache, now some services (plex, newsnab) are broken

In the process of building out a media server, and had plex server running nicely. I then installed newsnab, and it takes control of the root of the web server such that http://[domainname] becomes newsnab.

My server has a domain name attached to it which I want to use otherwise. So, to fix this I did a lot of reading and started changing apache around. Set things up as follows:

Web root is stored in /var/www/[domainname].com/
Newsnab installed itself in /var/www/newsnab. It's webroot is at /var/www/newsnab/www/

I created the following file for Apache:
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/[domainname].com

with the contents:

Code:

<virtualhost *:80>

  # Admin email, Server Name (domain name) and any aliases
  ServerAdmin webmaster@[domainname].com
  ServerName  [domainname].com
  ServerAlias www.[domainname].com
  ServerAlias [domainname]


  # Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located)
  DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php
  DocumentRoot /var/www/[domainname].com


  # Aliases
  Alias /newznab /var/www/newznab/www


  # Custom log file locations
  LogLevel warn
  ErrorLog  /var/www/logs/error.log
  CustomLog /var/www/logs/access.log combined

</virtualhost>

As you can see I aliased the newsnab directory to get access to it from a folder of my domain name.

That works, until I try to log in. I hit [domainname].com/newsnab/admin and I get the following:

Code:

Not Found

The requested URL /var/www/newznab/www/index.php was not found on this server.

Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at [domainname].com Port 80

Similarly, my previously functioning plex web admin now tells me that

Quote:

Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 192.168.1.100:32400

Though I can still access the media via myplex and the plex apps it's connected to.
