a2ensite, a2dissite - enable or disable an apache2 site / virtual host

       This manual page was written by Stefan Fritsch <sf@debian.org> (based  on  the  a2enmod  manual  page  by
       Daniel Stone <daniel@sfarc.net>) for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.

                                                   8 June 2007                                       A2ENSITE(8)

       This manual page documents briefly the a2ensite and a2dissite commands.

       a2ensite  is  a  script that enables the specified site (which contains a <VirtualHost> block) within the
       apache2 configuration.  It does this by creating symlinks within  /etc/apache2/sites-enabled.   Likewise,
       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.

       Apache treats the very first virtual host enabled specially as every  request  not  matching  any  actual
       directive  is  being  redirected  there. Thus it should be called 000-default in order to sort before the
       remaining hosts to be loaded first.

a2dissite000-default

       Disables the default site.

a2ensite  and  a2dissite exit with status 0 if all sites are processed successfully, 1 if errors occur, 2
       if an invalid option was used.

/etc/apache2/sites-available
              Directory with files giving information on available sites.

       /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
              Directory with links to the files in sites-available for enabled sites.
