a2enconf, a2disconf - enable or disable an apache2 configuration file
Contents
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 creating 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 disabled.
Note that many configuration file may have a dependency to specific modules. Unlike module dependencies,
these are not resolved 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).
Examples
a2enconfsecuritya2disconfcharset
Enables Apache security directives stored in the security configuration files, and disables the charset
configuration.
Exit Status
a2enconf and a2disconf exit with status 0 if all configurations are processed successfully, 1 if errors
occur, 2 if an invalid option was used.
Files
/etc/apache2/conf-available
Directory with files giving information on available configuration files.
