a2dissite(8)

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,
   a2dissite 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.
