Virtualhost url not found

I installed LAMP on a new EC2 server and via the public IP address I can see the default Ubuntu webpage as loaded by my new apache server.

My problems began when I created a new directory, simply called test, alongside the original html directory. In test, I created index.html with the content "Test page responding and loading ...".

So, I then copy /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf to test.conf and set DocumentRoot /var/www/test.

I enabled the virtualhost by sudo a2ensite test.conf and restarted the server with sudo service apache2 reload.

In my browser, when I visit the IP address I get the ubuntu page as loaded by apache. I then append /test to the end of the IP address and I get a Not found: The requested URL /test was not found on this server. error.

I disabled the 000-default.conf virtualhost, just out of curiosity, and restarted the server. My output from test/index.html loads in a browser using just the IP address - which I did not expect.

ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/test

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Require all granted

I'm trying to simply serve test/index.html when I visit .../test in my browser.

If you don't want Apache to select the default virtual host (the first one for a given host+port) you'll need to use ServerName or ServerAlias in your added virtual host to make sure it matches the hostname/address you're using in the browser.

apachectl -S will summarize your vhosts.
