Invalid command 'VirtualDocumentRoot'

I tried to configure my virtual PHP Devserver to use a part of the domain to serve different Directory's depending on the domain the request comes from... I guess that apache's missing the Virtual alias Module. I just can't figure out how i can check if it is there and if not how I can Install it... Below you'll find the site config file I was working on when I run a2dissite on it Apache Starts up just fine It's only when i enable vboxsf that it fails on startup/reload or whenever runs "configtest" on it's configuration...

Here is /etc/apache2/sites-available/vboxsf.conf

<VirtualHost *:80 *:8080>
  ServerName sandbox
  ServerAlias *.dev

  LogLevel info
  ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/dev-error.log
  CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/dev-access.log combined

  RewriteEngine On

  <Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
  </Directory>

  <Directory /media/>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
  </Directory>

  <Location /server-status>
    SetHandler server-status
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
  </Location>

  UseCanonicalName Off
  VirtualDocumentRoot /media/sf_%1
</VirtualHost>

The output from sudo service apache2 reload

 * Reloading web server apache2                                                                                                                                                                                                             *
 * The apache2 configtest failed. Not doing anything.
Output of config test was:

The Apache error log may have more information.

... or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

You are most likely missing the mod_vhost_alias plugin for apache.
