So I had a perfectly good running Debian system whereby I could access my apache root by going to 73.xx.xx.xx and see my home page. Also could access sub folders by going to 73.xx.xx.xx/site1 73.xx.xx.xx.xx/site2
I did a apt software upgrade and now I can still go to 73.xx.xx.xx and see the home page however I am unable to see the sub folders. Did the upgrade override a setting and if so which one?
I tried looking in httpd.conf but nothing in there. Any pointers?

Check through your browser modules and see if there are any modules you've installed manually that didn't get upgraded with the rest of Debian. I believe I once saw something like this happen with a custom version of mod_security that only crashed the server once there was a subdirectory in the request. If you built modules yourself, see this link and make sure you have the right
apache2-foo-dev
package installed.
