a2enmod: command not found

a2enmod is a command in Ubuntu that is used to enable Apache HTTP Server modules. It is part of the apache2-utils package, which provides utility programs for the Apache HTTP Server.

To use a2enmod, you must have administrative privileges on the system. The syntax for the command is:

a2enmod [options] module-name

Where module-name is the name of the module, you want to enable.

For example, to enable the rewrite module, you would run the following command:

$ sudo a2enmod rewrite

This will create a symbolic link from the module file to the /etc/apache2/mods-enabled directory, which tells Apache to load the module when it starts up.

You can also use a2enmod to disable a module by using the -d option. For example, to disable the rewrite module, you would run the following command:

$ sudo a2enmod -d rewrite

This will remove the symbolic link from the /etc/apache2/mods-enabled directory, effectively disabling the module.
