a2ensite error "Site not exist" when creating virtualhost apache2 on ubuntu

Question

I have created files for my site in the /home/junda/www/ directory. I use symfony2, means the public files goes to /home/junda/www/symfony2-tries/web/ directory.

I then type this following command to the terminal to change permission:

sudo chmod -R a+rX ~/www sudo chmod a+rx ~ 

I also create /etc/apache2/sites-available/symfony2-tries.com file with following content:

# domain: symfony2-tries.com # public: /home/junda/www/symfony2-tries.com/ <VirtualHost *:80> # Admin email, Server Name (domain name) and any aliases ServerAdmin [email protected] ServerName www.symfony2-tries.com ServerAlias symfony2-tries.com # Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located) DirectoryIndex app.php DocumentRoot /home/junda/www/symfony2-tries/web # Custom log file locations LogLevel warn ErrorLog /home/junda/www/symfony2-tries/log/error.log CustomLog /home/junda/www/symfony2-tries/log/access.log combined </VirtualHost> 

after that i tried to enable it using a2ensite.

sudo a2ensite symfony2-tries 

but it returns:

ERROR: Site symfony2-tries.com does not exist! 

Could anyone kindly told me where I did wrong? And if possible, how to correct it. Thank You very much.

I have found the solution!

All files in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ must have the .conf extension now.

Example: symfony2-tries rename it in symfony2-tries.conf

Type sudo a2ensite symfony2-tries.conf and restart apache.
