NAME

       a2ensite, a2dissite - enable or disable an apache2 site / virtual host

SYNOPSIS

       a2ensite [site]

       a2dissite [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.

       The  default  site  is handled specially: The resulting symlink will be
       called 000-default in order to be loaded first.

EXAMPLES

              a2dissite 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.

SEE ALSO

       apache2ctl(8).
