Description

<r>As of several weeks of go I am completely new to Linode/Ubuntu/Apache etc.

Recently I was having problems with site-available and thought upgrading might make things work (ha!)

Everything is broken. I asked my genius friend Bob for some help and he sent me this:

I feel like an idiot, and if anyone can help point me in the right direction, it'd be greatly appreciated.</r>
