A2ENCONF(8)                          System Manager's Manual                          A2ENCONF(8)



NAME
       a2enconf, a2disconf - enable or disable an apache2 configuration file

SYNOPSIS
       a2enconf [ [-q|--quiet] configuration]

       a2disconf [ [-q|--quiet] 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 con‐
       figuration.  It does this by creating symlinks  within  /etc/apache2/conf-enabled.   Like‐
       wise,  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 mod‐
       ule dependencies, these are not resolved automatically. Configuration fragments stored  in
       the conf-available directory are considered non-essential or being installed and manged by
       reverse 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 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
       a2enconf and a2disconf exit with status 0 if all  configurations  are  processed  success‐
       fully, 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 dis‐
       ables 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
