Virtualmin Apache2 Ubuntu

I have seemingly the exact same issue as asked in this question: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/virtualmin-apache2-default-page

I’ll include all the steps I’ve taken, in case I’ve done something stupid.

I’ve created an Ubuntu 14.04 x64 droplet and then installed Virtualmin using the download and install scripts on: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-utilize-virtualmin-on-a-vps

From there, I went to the virtualmin :10000 admin and followed the wizard. I then went to Webmin > System > Bootup and Shutdown and stopped and prevented from boot at startup for Mailman. Then I went to Virtualmin > System Settings > Features and Plugins and turned off Webalizer, Log file, Spam filtering, Virus filtering, AWstats, Mailman

I then installed the suggested updates and ran Re-Check Configuration, which comes back “your system is ready for use by Virtualmin”

Next I created a virtual server using all defaults except I unchecked use DNS zone.

Checking in SFTP, I can see all the files are created correctly, yet the site still shows the index file of /var/www/html Out of curiosity, I created a file called test.php in that folder with the contents: <?php phpinfo(); ?> which is all it shows in the browser, so it looks like PHP isn’t working on the frontend either.

I found mention to try:

apt-get install apache2-suexec-custom
cd /etc/apache2/suexec
nano www-data

and change “/var/www” to “/home”, but it was already set to “/home”.

The question I linked to above suggests that it’s futile to try and make virtualmin work, but that doesn’t seem right. When you run the virtualmin install script, it actually asks you whether your OS is one of a few, which includes Ubuntu 14.04. Surely the install script must make it work out of the box? If not, why aren’t there thousands of questions asking exactly this?

I’m thoroughly stumped, any help would be greatly appreciated.
