NAME¶
lighty-enable-mod, lighty-disable-mod - enable or disable configuration in
lighttpd server
SYNOPSIS¶
lighty-enable-mod [module]
lighty-disable-mod [module]
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the lighty-enable-mod and lighty-disable-mod
commands.
lighty-enable-mod and lighty-disable-mod are programs that enable (and
respectively disable) the specified configuration file within lighttpd
configuration.
Both programs can be run interactively or from command line. If either program
is called without any arguments, an input prompt is displayed to the user,
where he might choose among available
lighttpd modules. Immediate
action is taken, if a module name was given on the command line.
EXIT STATUS¶
Both programs indicate failure in their exit status. lighty-enable-mod or
lighty-disable-mod respectively may leave execution with one of the following
exit codes:
- 0
- denotes success
- 1
- denotes a fatal error (e.g., a module could not be enabled, or a
dependency was not found)
- 2
- denotes a minor flaw (e.g., a module was not enabled because it was
already loaded before)
- Note
- You can (un-) load several modules at time. The exit status will only
reflect the most serious issue (where a minor flaw beats no error, but a
fatal error beats a minor flaw). This means, if a minor flaw was
encountered as well as a fatal error, the program will leave with exit
status 1 and stop immediately.
DEPENDENCIES¶
Debian allows
lighttpd modules to formulate dependencies to other modules
they depend on. Configuration files are scanned for dependencies upon load or
unload of modules, not at runtime of the web server. Such a magic line has the
following format:
# -*- depends: module[, module] -*-
and may appear anywhere in the file. If such a line is found, the extracted name
is interpreted as dependency to another
lighttpd module.
lighty-enable-mod will seek available configurations to satisfy this
dependency and will recursively enable all dependencies found on its way.
lighty-disable-mod will disable reverse dependencies recursively.
