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-essential or being installed and manged by reverse dependencies (e.g. web scripts).
