In the instruction it is written sudo a2ensite example.com. I left the .conf extension. After running a2ensite with .conf extension it worked.
Thank you ryanpq
Is your new virtualhost configuration in a file in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled? Did you by chance create it in sites-avaialble instead? If you did you will need to run an a2ensite in order to enable the new virtualhost.
