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  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).

              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 invalid option was used.

       disables the charset configuration.
