a2disconf:configuration:disable

Disable an Apache2 configuration file.

a2disconf

$ sudo a2disconf ${configuration_file}

try on your machine

The "sudo a2disconf ${configuration_file}" command is used to disable or remove the specified configuration file from the Apache 2 web server.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"sudo": It is a command that allows a user to run a command with administrative or superuser privileges. The user executing this command must have appropriate sudo access to perform administrative tasks.
"a2disconf": It is short for "Apache 2 disable configuration". It is a command provided by Apache 2 web server package to disable or remove a specific configuration.
"${configuration_file}": This is a placeholder representing the name of the configuration file that you want to disable or remove. The actual configuration file's name should be provided here. For example, if you want to disable the "example.conf" configuration file, you would replace "${configuration_file}" with "example.conf".

When you run this command with proper administrative privileges and provide the name of the configuration file, it will disable or remove that specific configuration from the Apache 2 web server.
