NAME

a2enmod, a2dismod - enable or disable an apache2 module

SYNOPSIS

a2enmod [module]

a2dismod [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

a2enmod also enables the module in the conf/mods-start.d/* files to prevent the module explicitly enabled from being disabled after update. a2dismod disables module in conf/mods-start.d/* for the same reason.

EXAMPLES

Enables the mod_imagemap module, and disables the mod_mime_magic module.

FILES

/etc/apache2/mods-available

Directory with files giving information on available modules.
