apache-modconf(8)                                            apache-modconf(8)

NAME
       apache-modconf - reconfigure the Apache webserver modules list

SYNOPSIS
       apache-modconf apache | apache-ssl | apache-perl [options]

DESCRIPTION
       This  command  is  meant to be a simple interface between sysadmins and
       apache (in all it's flavours) to administer which  modules  has  to  be
       loaded  or  not.  It automatically creates a new config file located in
       /etc/apache{-perl,-ssl}/modules.conf and  it  will  cleanup  httpd.conf
       from all the LoadModules entries that are Debian standards without mod-
       ifying any custom one. In order for apache-modconf to recognize a  mod-
       ule,   this   needs  to  have  a  correctly  formatted  .info  file  in
       /usr/lib/apache/1.3/

       Note:  apache-modconf  obsoletes  apacheconfig,  apache-sslconfig   and
       apache-perlconfig

OPTIONS
       A summary of options are included below.

       enable <module_name>
              this  will automatically enable the module in the selection list
              and ask if the specified flavour of apache should be  restarted.
              module_name  has  to  match  the  same as specified in the .info
              filename.

       Example: apache-modconf apache enable mod_php4

       disable <module_name> [quiet]
              this will automatically disable the module in the selection list
              and  ask if the specified flavour of apache should be restarted.
              The quite option will not prompt for any selection but  it  will
              just do the work (useful only when called by other scripts).

       Example: apache-modconf apache-ssl disable mod_perl quiet

       query <module_name>
              will  return  a non-empty string if the module is enabled in the
              configuration.

       Example: apache-modconf apache-perl query mod_ssl

       Note: use of the quiet options should be done very  carefully  since  a
       sysadmin  should  always be able to verify what has been changed in the
       configuration.

NOTES
       In order for apache-modconf to be able to recognize a module, the  lat-
       ter   should   be   provided   with   an   .info   file   installed  in
       /usr/lib/apache/1.3. The minimum requirement for a  .info  file  to  be
       valid  is  its  first line, that should contain the LoadModule informa-
       tion. Ex:

       LoadModule: urlcount_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_urlcount.so

       at this point in time no other entries are processed.
