   enable_rewrite_module:
     apache_module.enable:

       - config:
         - VirtualHost:
             this: '*:80'
             ServerName:
               - salt-cookbook.com
             ServerAlias:
               - www.salt-cookbook.com
             ErrorLog: /var/log/apache2/salt-cookbook.com- error_log
