Cannot change Apache2 document root from apache2-default

[Chris Purves <chris.purves@gmail.com>]

I want to change the default apache2 document root to /var/www instead
of /var/www/apache2-default.

I have edited /etc/apache2/sites-available/default to comment out the
redirect.  As well I renamed the link
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default to defult and restarted
apache2, but I am still always directed to
http://server/apache2-default.  I have created a file
/var/www/index.html which I can ready at http://server/index.html, but
not if I try to go to http://server.

Below is the default file.  The only change I've made is to comment
out RedirectMatch line.
