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.
