NAME¶
a2enmod, a2dismod - enable or disable an apache2 module
SYNOPSIS¶
a2enmod [ [-q|--quiet]
module]
a2dismod [ [-q|--quiet]
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. Enabling 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.
- -m, --maintmode

automatically by a maintainer script. This switch should not be used by

- -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.
