a2enmod is a Debian-specific utility that enables Apache2 modules by creating symbolic links in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled pointing to module files in /etc/apache2/mods-available. The tool handles both .load and associated .conf files for each module.
The tool works alongside a2dismod, which disables modules. After enabling a module, Apache must be restarted or reloaded for changes to take effect.

This utility is Debian-specific and not available on other Linux distributions. Enabling a module may require enabling its dependencies first. Module changes require an Apache restart or reload to take effect.

Created as part of the Apache2 package for Debian GNU/Linux. The manual page was authored by Daniel Stone and dates to October 2006.
