    NAME
           a2enmod, a2dismod - enable or disable an apache2 module
    
    SYNOPSIS
           a2enmod [ [-q|--quiet] module]
    
           a2dismod [ [-q|--quiet] 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.
    
    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
           a2enmod and a2dismod exit with status 0 if all  modules	are  processed
           successfully, 1 if errors occur, 2 if an invalid option was used.
    
    EXAMPLES
    	      a2enmod imagemap
    	      a2dismod mime_magic
    
           Enables	the  mod_imagemap module, and disables the mod_mime_magic mod‐
           ule.
    
    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.
