First - I created a droplet on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and gave it the name isahappyperson.com
Second - I have two domain names pointed to the droplets IP address
Third - I followed the directions here https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts
I did so exactly and using my two domain names
ididntsee.com is working and is displaying the proper index.html file
isahappyperson.com is showing the apache2 ubuntu default index.html file even though I edited the /etc/apache2/sites-available/isahappyperson.com.conf file to show the following:
DocumentRoot /var/www/isahappyperson.com/public_html ServerName isahappyperson.com ServerAlias www.isahappyperson.com
I double checked to ensure I created the index.html file in the correct directory at /var/www/isahappyperson.com/public_html/index.html
Any thoughts as to what is missing?
My goal is to install Wordpress on both sites using the same droplet.

The conf files in sites-available aren’t read by Apache. You need a link in sites-enabled to the conf file. Ubuntu many have the a2ensite command available to do that for you- I don’t know for sure. If not, you’ll need to link it (or copy the conf file) yourself. <br>
Thank you @Larry Fransson, <br> <br>I ran: <br>sudo a2ensite ididntsee.com.conf <br>sudo a2ensite isahappyperson.com.conf <br> <br>While following the steps in this tutorial https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts <br> <br>Is that what you are referring to?
Update: Glad to report that all is well and working fine. <br>Had to run a2dissite 000-default then service apache2 restart All is good now :)
