It\ndoes this by creating symlinks within /etc/apache2/mods-enabled. Likewise, a2dismod disables\na module by removing those symlinks. It is not an error to enable a module which is already\nenabled, or to disable one which is already disabled.\n\nNote that many modules have, in addition to a .load file, an associated .conf file. Enabling\nthe module puts the configuration directives in the .conf file as directives into the main\nserver context of apache2.\n\n### OPTIONS\n\n#### -q, --quiet\n\nDon't show informative messages.\n\n#### -f, --force\n\nWhen disabling a module, also cascade disables all modules that depends on it.\n\n#### -m, --maintmode\n\nEnables the maintainer mode, that is the program invocation is effectuated automati‐\ncally by a maintainer script. This switch should not be used by end users.\n\n#### -p, --purge\n\nWhen disabling a module, purge all traces of the module in the internal state data\nbase.\n\n### EXIT STATUS\n\na2enmod and a2dismod exit with status 0 if all modules are processed successfully, 1 if er‐\nrors occur, 2 if an invalid option was used.\n\n### EXAMPLES\n\na2enmod imagemap\na2dismod mimemagic\n\nEnables the modimagemap module, and disables the modmimemagic module.\n\n### FILES\n\n#### /etc/apache2/mods-available\n\nDirectory with files giving information on available modules.\n\n#### /etc/apache2/mods-enabled\n\nDirectory with links to the files in mods-available for enabled modules.\n\n### SEE ALSO\n\napache2ctl(8), a2enconf(8), a2disconf(8), a2ensite(8), a2dissite(8).\n\n### AUTHOR\n\nThis manual page was written by Daniel Stone for the Debian GNU/Linux dis‐\ntribution, as it is a Debian-specific script with the package.\n\n\n\n12 October 2006 A2ENMOD(8)\n\n" } ], "structuredContent": { "command": "a2enmod", "section": "8", "mode": "man", "summary": "a2enmod, a2dismod - enable or disable an apache2 module", "synopsis": "a2enmod [-q|--quiet] [-m|--maintmode] [ module ]\na2dismod [-q|--quiet] [-f|--force] [-m|--maintmode] [-p|--purge] [ module ]", "flags": [ { "flag": "-q", "long": "--quiet", "arg": null, "description": "Don't show informative messages." }, { "flag": "-f", "long": "--force", "arg": null, "description": "When disabling a module, also cascade disables all modules that depends on it." }, { "flag": "-m", "long": "--maintmode", "arg": null, "description": "Enables the maintainer mode, that is the program invocation is effectuated automati‐ cally by a maintainer script.
