Why did a2ensite only work on one host?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

not so long ago I installed LAMP, and in Apache the jarga-land.ru subdomain without any problems, and everything functioned.
Now it became necessary to add another upload-good.test domain. I did
everything according to the instructions:
first, in the /etc/hosts file
127.0.0.1 localhost jarga-land.ru upload-good.test
, then in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled, I created the upload-good.test.conf file with the following content:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName upload-good.test
    DocumentRoot /var/www/upload-good.test
    <Directory /var/www/upload-good.test>
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Well, I created a folder in /var/www/upload-good.test, and index.php in it. Got an error
while executing the commandsudo a2ensite upload-good.test

ERROR: Site upload-good.test does not exist!

Maybe I missed something, but I've already tried it in different ways. The result is the same! How to fix this at all?

Answer 1

You must not create files in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled !!! Soft links to files from /etc/apache2/sites-available are created there, and since there is no such file, therefore the a2ensite mechanism cannot work.
