I believe Caleb is using Gentoo... In Gentoo, when you install Apache, 
the default configuration is set up to use virtual hosts, even when you 
just have one site to host. To create a new virtual host, simply copy 
/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf to something like 
10_mysite.com_vhost.conf, edit as necessary, and you're good to go.
