Apache :: Why All Virtual Hosts Route Back To Same Document

I am trying to configure Apache 2.2 on Linux Mint 17 ( derived from Ubuntu 14 LTS).

I am wanting to create a variety of localhost sites all for development. One of those is built on Laravel 4. I have followed every tutorial I can find yet, for some reason which I do not understand ALL my sites route back to the Laravel root document when called from the browser. Just don't get it.

Here is my hosts file:

Code:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 vince-XPS-8300
127.0.0.1 auburntree
127.0.0.1 example

Here is the Laravel conf file:

Code:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin mail@shaw.ca
ServerName auburntree
DocumentRoot /var/www/auburntree/public

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Here is the alternative "example" conf file with just "hello world" in it.

Code:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin mail@shaw.ca
ServerName example
DocumentRoot /var/www/example/test.html

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Both conf files have been enabled.
