NAME
       a2enconf, a2disconf - enable or disable an apache2 configuration file

SYNOPSIS
       a2enconf [-q|--quiet] [-m|--maintmode] [ configuration ]

       a2disconf [-q|--quiet] [-m|--maintmode] [-p|--purge] [ configuration ]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the a2enconf and a2disconf commands.

       a2enconf is a script that enables the specified configuration file within the apache2 configuration.  It does this by
       creating	 symlinks  within  /etc/apache2/conf-enabled.  Likewise, a2disconf disables a specific configuration part by
       removing those symlinks.	 It is not an error to enable a configuration which is already enabled, or  to	disable	 one
       which is already disabled.

       Note  that  many configuration file may have a dependency to specific modules.  Unlike module dependencies, these are
       not resolved automatically. Configuration fragments stored in the conf-available directory are considered  non-essen‐
       tial or being installed and manged by reverse dependencies (e.g. web scripts).

OPTIONS
       -q, --quiet
	      Don't show informative messages.

       -m, --maintmode
	      Enables  the  maintainer	mode,  that  is	 the program invocation is effectuated automatically by a maintainer
	      script. This switch should not be used by end users.

       -p, --purge
	      When disabling a module, purge all traces of the module in the internal state data base.

EXIT STATUS
       a2enconf and a2disconf exit with status 0 if all configurations are processed successfully, 1 if errors occur,  2  if
       an invalid option was used.

EXAMPLES
	      a2enconf security
	      a2disconf charset

       Enables	Apache	security  directives stored in the security configuration files, and disables the charset configura‐
       tion.

	      ample,  in  a  multi-instance setup, you can set dir_suffix=-myinstance and override APACHE_MODS_AVAIL back to
	      /etc/apache2/mods-available to have a single store of snippets for all instances

       APACHE_STATE_DIRECTORY
