NAME

       lighty-enable-mod, lighty-disable-mod - enable or disable configuration in lighttpd server

SYNOPSIS

       lighty-enable-mod [module]
       lighty-disable-mod [module]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the lighty-enable-mod and lighty-disable-mod commands.

       lighty-enable-mod  and  lighty-disable-mod  are  programs  that  enable  (and  respectively  disable) the
       specified configuration file within lighttpd configuration.

       Both programs can be run interactively or from command line. If either  program  is  called  without  any
       arguments,  an  input  prompt  is  displayed  to the user, where he might choose among available lighttpd
       modules. Immediate action is taken, if a module name was given on the command line.

   EXIT STATUS
       Both programs indicate failure in their exit status. lighty-enable-mod or lighty-disable-mod respectively
       may leave execution with one of the following exit codes:

       0    denotes success

       1    denotes a fatal error (e.g., a module could not be enabled, or a dependency was not found)

       2    denotes a minor flaw (e.g., a module was not enabled because it was already loaded before)

       Note
       You  can  (un-)  load  several  modules at time. The exit status will only reflect the most serious issue
       (where a minor flaw beats no error, but a fatal error beats a minor flaw). This means, if  a  minor  flaw
       was encountered as well as a fatal error, the program will leave with exit status 1 and stop immediately.

DEPENDENCIES

       Debian  allows  lighttpd modules to formulate dependencies to other modules they depend on. Configuration
       files are scanned for dependencies upon load or unload of modules, not at runtime of the web server. Such
       a magic line has the following format:

         # -*- depends: module[, module] -*-

       and  may  appear  anywhere  in  the  file.  If such a line is found, the extracted name is interpreted as
       dependency to another lighttpd module. lighty-enable-mod will seek available  configurations  to  satisfy
       this  dependency  and will recursively enable all dependencies found on its way.  lighty-disable-mod will
       disable reverse dependencies recursively.
