a2query: Display the currently enabled Multi Processing Module.
$ sudo a2query -M
try on your machine

The command "sudo a2query -M" is used to query the Apache2 server configuration to list the installed Apache2 modules.

Here is a breakdown of each component of the command:

  • "sudo" stands for "superuser do," which allows the user to perform administrative tasks with root privileges. It is used to run the command as a superuser or administrator.
  • "a2query" is a command-line utility specific to Apache2 that allows you to query the server configuration. In this case, it is used to list the installed modules.
  • "-M" is an option/flag passed to the "a2query" command. The "-M" option specifically tells the command to list the installed Apache2 modules.

When you run this command, it will provide a list of all the active (enabled) Apache2 modules on your system, which can be useful for troubleshooting, verifying configurations, or checking which modules are available for use.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
