Re: apache2 problem with name based vhost
It has nothing to do with the directory not being owned by root - in fact, directories and files for the webserver should NOT be owned by root (neither should most other files and directories).
It sounds like Apache is loading the default page. Did you add a symlink to the file in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled? Did you add the simlink to the right file? Did you restart Apache?

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?
