Virtual host configuration in Ubuntu 13.04

Now a days I am learning symfony framework.
While installation I came across the need to configure the virtual host on my ubuntu.
 
Here is what I found on the Ubuntu online documentation.
 
In Apache2 ships with a virtual-host-friendly default configuration. That is, it is configured with a single default virtual host (using the VirtualHost directive) which can modified or used as-is if you have a single site, or used as a template for additional virtual hosts if you have multiple sites. If left alone, the default virtual host will serve as your default site, or the site users will see if the URL they enter does not match the ServerName directive of any of your custom sites. To modify the default virtual host, edit the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/default.
 
I needed to configure virtual host for my symfony.dev application.
My document root for the symfony project was /var/www/symblog.dev
 
Now we need to cony the default virtual host file from the 
sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/symblog.dev
Edit the new file named symblog.dev to configure the new site using some of the directives described below.
 
NameVirtualHost 127.0.2.1


<VirtualHost 127.0.2.1>

  ServerName symblog.dev

  DocumentRoot "/var/www/symblog.dev/web"

  DirectoryIndex app_dev.php

  <Directory "/var/www/symblog.dev/web">

    AllowOverride All

    Allow from All

  </Directory>

</VirtualHost>
 
 
The ServerName directive is optional and specifies what FQDN your site should answer to. The default virtual host has no ServerName directive specified, so it will respond to all requests that do not match a ServerName directive in another virtual host.
 
Enable the new VirtualHost using the a2ensite utility and restart Apache2:
 
sudo a2ensite symblog.dev

sudo service apache2 restart
 
Be sure to replace symblog.dev with a more descriptive name for the VirtualHost. One method is to name the file after the ServerName directive of the VirtualHost.
 
Similarly, use the a2dissite utility to disable sites. This is can be useful when troubleshooting configuration problems with multiple VirtualHosts:


sudo a2dissite symblog.dev

sudo service apache2 restart

Whats up this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs
use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code
with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no
coding skills so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
Any help would be enormously appreciated!

This design is incredible! You certainly know how to keep a reader amused.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Fantastic job.
I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
Too cool!
