then you should put directives for any other web site you are going to add in a separate file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ and then create a symlink to it in > /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ so you can simply remove the symlink if you ever want to put sites offline instead of commenting out lines on a single, maybe huge, conf file, moreover you gain better control on per site directives (before going online) http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ regards >
