A2ENCONF(8) System Manager's Manual A2ENCONF(8)
NAME
a2enconf, a2disconf - enable or disable an apache2 configuration file
SYNOPSIS
a2enconf [-q|--quiet] [-m|--maintmode] [ configuration ]
a2disconf [-q|--quiet] [-m|--maintmode] [-p|--purge] [ configuration ]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the a2enconf and a2disconf commands.
a2enconf is a script that enables the specified configuration file
within the apache2 configuration. It does this by creating symlinks
within /etc/apache2/conf-enabled. Likewise, a2disconf disables a spe-
cific configuration part by removing those symlinks. It is not an error
to enable a configuration which is already enabled, or to disable one
which is already disabled.
Note that many configuration file may have a dependency to specific mod-
ules. Unlike module dependencies, these are not resolved automatically.
Configuration fragments stored in the conf-available directory are con-
sidered non-essential or being installed and manged by reverse dependen-
cies (e.g. web scripts).
OPTIONS
-q, --quiet
Don't show informative messages.
-m, --maintmode
Enables the maintainer mode, that is the program invocation is
effectuated automatically by a maintainer script. This switch
should not be used by end users.
-p, --purge
When disabling a module, purge all traces of the module in the
internal state data base.
EXIT STATUS
a2enconf and a2disconf exit with status 0 if all configurations are
processed successfully, 1 if errors occur, 2 if an invalid option was
used.
EXAMPLES
a2enconf security
a2disconf charset
Enables Apache security directives stored in the security configuration
files, and disables the charset configuration.
FILES

tion files.

Directory with links to the files in conf-available for enabled
configuration files.
