SYNOPSIS

a2enmod [-q|--quiet] [-m|--maintmode] [ module ]
a2dismod [-q|--quiet] [-f|--force] [-m|--maintmode] [-p|--purge] [ module ]

Beschreibung

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
