I was working with a web application in /var/www/tshirtshop 
here is the configuration (I am using Ubuntu 12.04) 

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/tshirtshop
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/tshirtshop

<Directory /var/www/tshirtshop>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny

allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

LogLevel warn

CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>


how ever there was another default site which comes by default when you install 
apache2 on  Ubuntu 
it is 000-default  configuration is 

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www

        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/www/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>
        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/

        <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
                AllowOverride None
                Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>
        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,

        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"

    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
     Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>


when I disabled the default site a2dissite 000-default I see that my working 
application in
/var/www/tshirtshop stopped working.
 when I had already wrote a configuration for application tshirtshop
a2ensite tshirtshop with above said configuration then why is that so?
