a2enconf

Enable a configuration file

$ sudo a2enconf [configuration_file]

$ sudo a2enconf --quiet [configuration_file]

a2enconf confname

confname
    The name of the configuration file (without the .conf extension) located in the conf-available directory.

The a2enconf command is a utility used to enable Apache configuration files. It creates symbolic links in the Apache configuration directories (usually /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/) to the corresponding configuration files in the conf-available directory (usually /etc/apache2/conf-available/). This effectively activates the configurations, making them part of the Apache web server's active configuration. The command simplifies the process of managing Apache configurations by providing a standardized way to enable and disable them without directly modifying the primary Apache configuration file.

Before the conf files can be enabled, they have to be copied in the conf-available folder or linked with it.

It is part of the apache2 package.

To enable the configuration file named myconfig.conf, the command would be:
a2enconf myconfig
This creates a symbolic link from /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/myconfig.conf to /etc/apache2/conf-available/myconfig.conf.
