.SH NAME
a2enmod, a2dismod \- enable or disable an apache2 module
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B a2enmod
[\-q|\-\-quiet] [\-m|\-\-maintmode] [
.IR module
]
.PP
.B a2dismod
[\-q|\-\-quiet] [\-f|\-\-force] [\-m|\-\-maintmode] [\-p|\-\-purge] [
.IR module
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B a2enmod
and
.B a2dismod
commands.
.PP
.B a2enmod
is a script that enables the specified module within the
.B apache2
configuration. It does this by creating symlinks within
.BR /etc/apache2/mods-enabled .
Likewise,
.B 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.
.PP
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
.B apache2.

.TP
.B \-p, \-\-purge
When disabling a module, purge all traces of the module in the internal state
data base.
.SH "EXIT STATUS"

and
.B a2dismod
exit with status 0 if all
.IR module s
are processed successfully, 1 if errors occur, 2 if an invalid option was used.
