A2ENMOD(8)						      System Manager's Manual							A2ENMOD(8)

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  that many modules have, in addition to a .load file, an associated .conf file.  Enabling the module puts the configuration directives
       in the .conf file as directives into the main server context of apache2

EXAMPLES
	      a2enmod imagemap
	      a2dismod mime_magic

       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.

       /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
	      Directory with links to the files in mods-available for enabled modules.

SEE ALSO
       apache2ctl(8).
