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.
