Apache2 not reading sites-enabled/*.conf

So I'm trying to set up my site with Apache on Ubuntu 14.04. I have created a mydomain.com.conf file in sites-available/. It looks like this; **mydomain.com.conf** ServerName mydomain.com ServerAlias www.mydomain.com ServerAdmin admin@mydomain.com DocumentRoot /var/www/mydomain.com/public_html ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/mydomain.com/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/mydomain.com/access.log combined **000-default.conf** ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost #DocumentRoot /var/www ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined For some reason apache doesn't seem to read mydomain.com.conf at all, it will always default to the configuration in 000-default.conf. When visting my site I get a 403 Forbidden response. 1. I've enabled the site by a2ensite mydomain.com and reloaded Apache. 2. apachectl configtest returns Syntax OK The error.log file for **000-default.conf** says [Wed Sep 03 11:01:48.717652 2014] [autoindex:error] [pid 5869] [client 2.71.93.10:55718] AH01276: Cannot serve directory /var/www/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.php,index.html,index.cgi,index.pl,index.xhtml,index.htm) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive while the error log & access log for mydomain.com is empty. My apache2.conf does a IncludeOptional sites-enabled/*.conf. The security model in apache2.conf looks like this; Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Require all denied DirectoryIndex index.php, index.html AllowOverride None Require all granted What's wrong?
