apache:module:enable:quiet

Enable an Apache2 module without informative messages.
$ sudo a2enmod --quiet ${module}
try on your machine

The given command is used to enable an Apache module named ${module} using the "a2enmod" command. Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • "sudo" is a command used in Unix-like systems (such as Linux) to run programs with elevated privileges. It allows the user to execute a command as a superuser or another user with administrative rights.

  • "a2enmod" is a command in Apache HTTP Server used to enable Apache modules. Apache modules are plugins or extensions that add functionality to the web server. The "a2enmod" command manages these modules by creating symbolic links in the appropriate directories.

  • "--quiet" is an optional parameter (a flag) used with the "a2enmod" command. It makes the command run silently, without generating any output or prompts.

  • "${module}" is a placeholder indicating that a specific module name should be provided. This should be replaced with the actual name of the Apache module to be enabled.

Overall, the command, "sudo a2enmod --quiet ${module}", with appropriate module name, enables the specified Apache module quietly (without generating any output or prompts) using superuser privileges.
