Thank you. adding the file extension allowed some progress to be made.
Not I get this in my browser:

Ubuntu changed the configuration to require config files end with ".conf". You didn't give the full path, but since you said "In my virtual-sites file", I was guessing that was /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/virtual-sites (or conf.d/virtual-sites) which would need to be renamed in order to be loaded under the new default Ubuntu configuration.

Background
I run Ubuntu.
I have run a LAMP server for a number of years for my web development. Never had any problems. Installed using the Synaptic package manager.
I use virtual hosting. My development site's file structure mirrors my public server's file structure.
My hosts file directs my test urls to my server.
I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04. This is when the problem began.
In trying to solve my problem I removed apache completely and reinstalled.
Any and all help very much appreciated.
Issue
I cannot access my files. It seems that apache is looking in the wrong place for document root and I cannot figure out what is causing this.
When I try to access a virtual site, in my browser (http://www.roissytest.ca/), I get:
Index of /
[ICO] Name Last modified Size Description

In my virtual-sites file I have:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /home/stephen/www/roissy.ca/public_html
ServerName www.roissytest.ca
ErrorLog /home/stephen/www/roissy.ca/public_html/error.log
TransferLog /home/stephen/www/roissy.ca/public_html/transfer.log
</VirtualHost>
Now I step back and use my browser to connect to 127.0.0.1:

In /var/www I have a index.html file with Hello World.

My apache2.conf has not been touched from the install:
# This is the main Apache server configuration file. It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/ for detailed information about
# the directives and /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian about Debian specific
# hints.
#
#
# Summary of how the Apache 2 configuration works in Debian:
# The Apache 2 web server configuration in Debian is quite different to
# upstream's suggested way to configure the web server. This is because Debian's
# default Apache2 installation attempts to make adding and removing modules,
# virtual hosts, and extra configuration directives as flexible as possible, in
# order to make automating the changes and administering the server as easy as
# possible.
# It is split into several files forming the configuration hierarchy outlined
# below, all located in the /etc/apache2/ directory:
#
# /etc/apache2/
# |-- apache2.conf
# | `-- ports.conf
# |-- mods-enabled
# | |-- *.load
# | `-- *.conf
# |-- conf-enabled
# | `-- *.conf
# `-- sites-enabled
# `-- *.conf
#
#
# * apache2.conf is the main configuration file (this file). It puts the pieces
# together by including all remaining configuration files when starting up the
# web server.
#
# * ports.conf is always included from the main configuration file. It is
# supposed to determine listening ports for incoming connections which can be
# customized anytime.
#
# * Configuration files in the mods-enabled/, conf-enabled/ and sites-enabled/
# directories contain particular configuration snippets which manage modules,
# global configuration fragments, or virtual host configurations,
# respectively.
#
# They are activated by symlinking available configuration files from their
# respective *-available/ counterparts. These should be managed by using our
# helpers a2enmod/a2dismod, a2ensite/a2dissite and a2enconf/a2disconf. See
# their respective man pages for detailed information.
#
# * The binary is called apache2. Due to the use of environment variables, in
# the default configuration, apache2 needs to be started/stopped with
# /etc/init.d/apache2 or apache2ctl. Calling /usr/bin/apache2 directly will not
# work with the default configuration.
# Global configuration
#
#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# NOTE! If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)
# mounted filesystem then please read the Mutex documentation (available
# at <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#mutex>);
# you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
#
# Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.

# identification number when it starts.
# This needs to be set in /etc/apache2/envvars
#

#
# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
#
Timeout 300
#
# KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than
# one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.
#
KeepAlive On
#
# MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow
# during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.
# We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.
#

# The default is off because it'd be overall better for the net if people
# had to knowingly turn this feature on, since enabling it means that
# each client request will result in AT LEAST one lookup request to the
# nameserver.
#
HostnameLookups Off
# ErrorLog: The location of the error log file.
# If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a <VirtualHost>
# container, error messages relating to that virtual host will be
# logged here. If you *do* define an error logfile for a <VirtualHost>
# container, that host's errors will be logged there and not here.
#
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
#
# LogLevel: Control the severity of messages logged to the error_log.
# Available values: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,

# It is also possible to configure the log level for particular modules, e.g.
# "LogLevel info ssl:warn"
