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

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

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

       a2disconf [-q|--quiet] [-m|--maintmode] [-p|--purge] [ 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 creat‐
       ing symlinks within /etc/apache2/conf-enabled.  Likewise, 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 dis‐
       abled.

       Note that many configuration file may have a dependency to specific modules.  Unlike module dependencies, these are not  re‐
       solved  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 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 processed successfully, 1 if errors occur, 2 if an in‐
       valid option was used.

EXAMPLES
              a2enconf security
              a2disconf charset

       Enables Apache security directives stored in the security configuration files, and disables 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 files.
