.SH NAME
a2ensite, a2dissite \- enable or disable an apache2 site / virtual host
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B a2ensite
.RI [ site ]
.PP
.B a2dissite
.RI [ site ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B a2ensite
and
.B a2dissite
commands.
.PP
.B a2ensite
is a script that enables the specified site (which contains a <VirtualHost> block) within the
.B apache2
configuration.  It does this by creating symlinks within
.BR /etc/apache2/sites-enabled .
Likewise,
.B a2dissite
disables a site by removing those symlinks.  It is not an error to
enable a site which is already enabled, or to disable one which is
already disabled.
.PP
The
.B default
site is handled specially: The resulting symlink will be called
.B 000-default
in order to be loaded first.
.SH EXAMPLES
.RS
.B "a2dissite default"
.RE
.PP
Disables the
.B default
site.
.SH FILES
.TP
.B /etc/apache2/sites-available
Directory with files giving information on available sites.
.TP
.B /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
Directory with links to the files in
.B sites-available
for enabled sites.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.BR apache2ctl (8).
