a2dismod: Disable a module.
$ sudo a2dismod ${module}
try on your machine
The command "sudo a2dismod ${module}" is used to disable a specific module in the Apache HTTP Server. Here's a breakdown of the different parts of the command:
- "sudo" is a command that runs another command with superuser privileges. It is used to perform administrative tasks.
- "a2dismod" is a utility script provided by Apache to disable modules. It stands for "Apache2 disable module".
- "${module}" is a placeholder, which you need to replace with the actual name of the module you want to disable. For example, if you want to disable the "rewrite" module, the command would be "sudo a2dismod rewrite".
When you run this command with the appropriate module name, it will disable that module in the Apache HTTP Server configuration. Disabling a module means that it will not be loaded or used by the server anymore. This can be useful if you want to temporarily or permanently deactivate a particular module for various reasons such as security concerns, performance optimization, or debugging purposes.
