A2ENMOD(8) System Manager's Manual A2ENMOD(8)
NAME
a2enmod, a2dismod - enable or disable an apache2 module
SYNOPSIS
a2enmod [-q|--quiet] [-m|--maintmode] [ module ]
a2dismod [-q|--quiet] [-f|--force] [-m|--maintmode] [-p|--purge] [ module ]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the a2enmod and a2dismod commands.
a2enmod is a script that enables the specified module within the apache2 configuration.
It does this by creating symlinks within /etc/apache2/mods-enabled. Likewise, a2dismod
disables a module by removing those symlinks. It is not an error to enable a module which
is already enabled, or to disable one which is already disabled.
Note that many modules have, in addition to a .load file, an associated .conf file. En-
abling the module puts the configuration directives in the .conf file as directives into
the main server context of apache2.
OPTIONS
-q, --quiet
Don't show informative messages.
-f, --force
When disabling a module, also cascade disables all modules that depends on it.
-m, --maintmode
Enables the maintainer mode, that is the program invocation is effectuated automat-
ically 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
a2enmod and a2dismod exit with status 0 if all modules are processed successfully, 1 if
errors occur, 2 if an invalid option was used.

a2dismod mime_magic
