A2ENSITE(8)                 System Manager's Manual                A2ENSITE(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, 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 al-
       ready 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  re-
       maining 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.
