How to create a virtual host in ubuntu 13.10

Question

I am using ubuntu 13.10 OS and LAMP, Apache 2.4.

I would like to create a virtual host on apache. I tried some code, but it didn't work.

The following modifications are made. but it's not working.

First I changed HostnameLookups off to HostnameLookups on on etc\apache2\apache2.conf file. Then I added the below code,

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName local.scholarships.theiet.in
DocumentRoot /home/www/my_project/public_html
<Directory path_to_code_base/public>
    Options -Indexes
    Require all granted
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

After restart apache I ran http://localhost/ . The site is not loaded.

How can I load my site when running http://localhost/

ServerAlias www.site1.com
ServerAdmin info@site1.com
