I bet what is happening is this :
- Your document root is /var/www
- The default index page in that directory is a redirect to the
apache2-default subdirectory. It's displaying a message telling you
apache is set up correctly and such.
If you replace that index file with your own, you'll no longer get
sent to the apache2-default subdir.
You can get more information on setting up your own virtual hosts
here :
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/
Apache configuration makes a lot of sense once you get used to it,
but like most things it can take a little getting used to. The
O'Reilly book 'Apache Cookbook' is a really handy tutorial on how to
set up lots of common stuff (virtual hosts, logging, SSL certs,
etc).
