apache2 Chef cookbook start failure

I'm trying to use Chef to create a local virtual host and for that I had added the "recipe[apache2]" recipe in my runlist and it worked great until I also added another recipe in the runlist that includes the default apache2 recipe. Now, even if I remove the new recipe from the runlist action 'start' fails with the following error. Anyone knows what's the reason for this? 

================================================================================
Error executing action `start` on resource 'service[apache2]'

Have a look at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/example.conf: The output says

ServerName takes one argument, The hostname and port of the server

Obviously, you're not passing the sever_name attribute - have a look at the README and at the used template:

web_app "my_site" do
  server_name node['hostname']
  server_aliases [node['fqdn'], "my-site.example.com"]
  docroot "/srv/www/my_site"
end

If this doesn't help, please edit your post and add the code of how you define the example site.
