    NAME
           a2ensite, a2dissite - enable or disable an apache2 site / virtual host
    
    SYNOPSIS
           a2ensite [ [-q|--quiet] site]
    
           a2dissite [ [-q|--quiet] 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, a2dis‐
           site 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.
    
           Apache treats the very first virtual host enabled  specially  as  every
           request	not  matching  any actual directive is being redirected there.
           Thus it should be called  000-default  in  order  to  sort  before  the
           remaining hosts to be loaded first.
    
    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
           a2ensite and a2dissite exit with status 0 if all  sites	are  processed
           successfully, 1 if errors occur, 2 if an invalid option was used.
    
    EXAMPLES
    	      a2dissite 000-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.
