Unable to open elsa dash board from Apache

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have this same problem on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04.1 install.  I thought it might 
be because "elsa" Apache config file did not end with ".conf", so I renamed it. 
 Now Apache thinks it is a valid site, but when I try to reload it I get a 
bunch of errors.

tristanrhodes@elsa:/etc/apache2/sites-enabled$ sudo a2ensite elsa
ERROR: Site elsa does not exist!

tristanrhodes@elsa:/etc/apache2/sites-available$ ll

Enabling site elsa.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
  service apache2 reload
tristanrhodes@elsa:/etc/apache2/sites-available$ sudo service apache2 reload

I have exactly the same issue on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04.1 
Tried to mess around with the .conf file, but cannot get it to work.

Hi,
This can be solved by enabling the Rewrite module 

ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load 
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/rewrite.load
