a2enconf:tldr:4b920
This command is used to enable an Apache configuration file using the a2enconf tool with superuser privileges (sudo).
Here is a breakdown of each component of the command:
-
sudo
: It allows users to run programs with the security privileges of another user, typically the superuser (root). In this case, it is used to execute the command with escalated privileges. -
a2enconf
: It is a command-line tool used with Apache servers. "a2enconf" stands for "Apache 2 enable configuration." This tool is used to enable Apache configuration files that were not enabled by default during installation. It simplifies the process of linking configuration files from the/etc/apache2/conf-available/
directory to/etc/apache2/conf-enabled/
directory. -
--quiet
: It is an option used to run the command in quiet mode, meaning it suppresses unnecessary output or prompts and only provides essential information. This can be useful when running scripts or automating tasks. -
${configuration_file}
: This is a placeholder for the actual name of the configuration file that you want to enable. You need to replace${configuration_file}
with the actual name of the file, including the file extension. For example, if the configuration file name is "example.conf," the command would besudo a2enconf --quiet example.conf
.
By executing this command with the appropriate configuration file name, the specified configuration file will be linked in the conf-enabled
directory, thus enabling it in the Apache server's configuration.
