apache2 problem with name based vhost

[Zachary Uram <netrek@gmail.com>]

I have used name based vhosts for a while and never had any problems
with them. But now I have encountered a problem.

I setup a vhost called qubit.

Here is /etc/apache2/sites-available/qubit:
<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerAdmin root@oggthebase.org
     ServerName qubit.oggthebase.org
     ServerAlias qubit.oggthebase.org
     DocumentRoot /var/www/qubit/
     ErrorLog /var/www/qubit/logs/error.log
     CustomLog /var/www/qubit/logs/access.log combined

        <Location /server-status>
                SetHandler server-status
                Order deny,allow
                Deny from all
                Allow from localhost
        </Location>

</VirtualHost>

Now the problem is when I load the vhost: http://qubit.oggthebase.org
it instead loads /var/www/index.html and not /var/www/qubit/index.html

I think the problem is that /var/www/qubit is not owned by root? I
want a user to have that as their website so I did this:

adduser joe www-data
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/qubit
chmod -R g+rw /var/www/qubit

Anyway to get this working correctly?
