apache 2.4: some virtual hosts OK, others load default apache index.html - TYPOS FIXED

[Murray Eisenberg]

I _did_ forget to include http-vhosts.conf. Thanks for reminding me of that.  (Not sure I need host_alias.) 

Plus I changed permissions in the vhosts to... 

   Require all granted

…from the apache 2.2 settings:

    Order allow, deny
    Allow from all

Almost everything is working as expected. (There’s a remaining issue with phpmyadmin that I’ll address in a separate thread.)
