You need to run your editor with sudo, because site configuration files cannot be modified by users.

For example:

$ ls -l /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  950 2011-06-07 14:56 default

You should try to follow the official Ubuntu Server Guide. It is a very concise and clearly written article on what you'd like to achive.
