Thank you. adding the file extension allowed some progress to be made.

Not I get this in my browser:

Ubuntu changed the configuration to require config files end with ".conf". You didn't give the full path, but since you said "In my virtual-sites file", I was guessing that was /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/virtual-sites (or conf.d/virtual-sites) which would need to be renamed in order to be loaded under the new default Ubuntu configuration.

    Background

    I run Ubuntu.

    I have run a LAMP server for a number of years for my web
    development. Never had any problems. Installed using the Synaptic
    package manager.

    I use virtual hosting. My development site's file structure
    mirrors my public server's file structure.

    My hosts file directs my test urls to my server.

    I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04. This is when the
    problem began.

    In trying to solve my problem I removed apache completely and
    reinstalled.

    Any and all help very much appreciated.

    Issue

    I cannot access my files. It seems that apache is looking in the
    wrong place for document root and I cannot figure out what is
    causing this.

    When I try to access a virtual site, in my browser
    (http://www.roissytest.ca/), I get:

    Index of /

    <http://www.roissytest.ca> Port 80

    In my virtual-sites file I have:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /home/stephen/www/roissy.ca/public_html
    <http://roissy.ca/public_html>

        TransferLog
    /home/stephen/www/roissy.ca/public_html/transfer.log
    <http://roissy.ca/public_html/transfer.log>
    </VirtualHost>

    Now I step back and use my browser to connect to 127.0.0.1
    <http://127.0.0.1>:

    In /var/www I have a index.html file with Hello World.

    My error log file shows nothing unusual:

    My apache2.conf has not been touched from the install:

    # This is the main Apache server configuration file.  It contains the
    # configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
    # See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/ for detailed information about
    # the directives and /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian about
    Debian specific
    # hints.
    #
    #
    # Summary of how the Apache 2 configuration works in Debian:
    # The Apache 2 web server configuration in Debian is quite
    different to
    # upstream's suggested way to configure the web server. This is
    because Debian's
    # default Apache2 installation attempts to make adding and
    removing modules,
    # virtual hosts, and extra configuration directives as flexible as
    possible, in
    # order to make automating the changes and administering the
    server as easy as
    # possible.

    # It is split into several files forming the configuration
    hierarchy outlined
    # below, all located in the /etc/apache2/ directory:
    #
    #    /etc/apache2/
    #    |-- apache2.conf
    #    |    `--  ports.conf
    #    |-- mods-enabled
    #    |    |-- *.load
    #    |    `-- *.conf
    #    |-- conf-enabled
    #    |    `-- *.conf
    #     `-- sites-enabled
    #         `-- *.conf
    #
    #
    # * apache2.conf is the main configuration file (this file). It
    puts the pieces
    #   together by including all remaining configuration files when
    starting up the
    #   web server.
    #
    # * ports.conf is always included from the main configuration
    file. It is
    #   supposed to determine listening ports for incoming connections
    which can be
    #   customized anytime.
    #
    # * Configuration files in the mods-enabled/, conf-enabled/ and
    sites-enabled/
    #   directories contain particular configuration snippets which
    manage modules,
    #   global configuration fragments, or virtual host configurations,
    #   respectively.
    #
    #   They are activated by symlinking available configuration files
    from their
    #   respective *-available/ counterparts. These should be managed
    by using our
    #   helpers a2enmod/a2dismod, a2ensite/a2dissite and
    a2enconf/a2disconf. See
    #   their respective man pages for detailed information.
    #
    # * The binary is called apache2. Due to the use of environment
    variables, in
    #   the default configuration, apache2 needs to be started/stopped
    with
    #   /etc/init.d/apache2 or apache2ctl. Calling /usr/bin/apache2
    directly will not
    #   work with the default configuration.
