openDesktop.org provides super-portal to free software sites

11-28-2008 07:00 AM
When users want the latest in free and open source software (FOSS), they are likely to think first of sites like freshmeat, or perhaps Softpedia or GnomeFiles. However, as the FOSS community has divided into specialized communities, sites for new releases have proliferated, to the point where it is difficult to keep track of them all. Since 2007, openDesktop.org has provided a portal for many of these specialized sites. Under the slogan "Let's build the desktop of the future," openDesktop.org provides a quick overview of new software that is independent of desktop or distribution.

A2ENSITE(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       A2ENSITE(8)

NAME

       a2ensite, a2dissite - enable or disable an apache2 site / virtual host

SYNOPSIS

       a2ensite [site]

       a2dissite [site]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the a2ensite and a2dissite commands.

       a2ensite is a script that enables the specified site (which contains a <VirtualHost> block) within the apache2 configuration.  It does this
       by creating symlinks within /etc/apache2/sites-enabled.	Likewise, a2dissite disables a site by removing those  symlinks.   It  is  not	an
       error to enable a site which is already enabled, or to disable one which is already disabled.

       The default site is handled specially: The resulting symlink will be called 000-default in order to be loaded first.

EXAMPLES

	      a2dissite default

       Disables the default site.

FILES

       /etc/apache2/sites-available
	      Directory with files giving information on available sites.

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

SEE ALSO

       apache2ctl(8).

AUTHOR

       This  manual  page  was written by Stefan Fritsch <sf@debian.org> (based on the a2enmod manual page by Daniel Stone <daniel@sfarc.net>) for
       the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.
