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 configuration.   It  does  this  by  creating  symlinks  within
       /etc/apache2/conf-enabled.  Likewise, a2disconf disables a specific config‐
       uration 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  consid‐
       ered  non-essential  or  being installed and manged by reverse dependencies
       (e.g. web scripts).

OPTIONS
       -q, --quiet

       -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 pro‐
       cessed successfully, 1 if errors occur, 2 if an invalid option was used.

EXAMPLES

              a2disconf charset

       files, and disables the charset configuration.

              files.
