a2enconf: Enable a configuration file.

a2enconf

$ sudo a2enconf ${configuration_file}

try on your machine

This command is used in the Linux operating system to enable a specific Apache configuration file. Here's a breakdown of the command:

sudo: It is a command that allows the user to execute another command as a superuser or root. This is necessary because modifying Apache's configuration typically requires administrative privileges.
a2enconf: It is an abbreviation for "Apache2 Enable Configuration". It is a utility command specific to the Apache web server on Debian-based Linux distributions such as Ubuntu. This command enables a specific configuration file by creating a symbolic link in the Apache configuration directory.
${configuration_file}: This is a placeholder representing the name of the configuration file that you want to enable. You need to replace ${configuration_file} with the actual filename and extension of the configuration file you want to activate.

By running this command, the specified configuration file will be enabled and become part of the Apache server's active configuration, allowing the related settings and directives inside that file to take effect.
