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 config‐
       uration.  It does this by  creating  symlinks  within  /etc/apache2/conf-enabled.   Likewise,
       a2disconf  disables  a  specific 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 modules.  Unlike module
       dependencies, these are not resolved automatically. Configuration  fragments  stored  in  the
       conf-available  directory  are  considered non-essential or being installed and manged by re‐
       verse dependencies (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  automati‐
              cally 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
       /etc/apache2/conf-available
              Directory with files giving information on available configuration files.

       /etc/apache2/conf-enabled
              Directory with links to the files in conf-available for enabled configuration files.
