Enable an Apache site and reload

Caution: This command changes the system. Understand what it does before you run it.

root@server
a2ensite example.com && apache2ctl configtest && systemctl reload apache2

Links /etc/apache2/sites-available/<site>.conf into sites-enabled and reloads Apache if the syntax is correct. The name is given without the .conf extension. To disable a site, use a2dissite accordingly.

Note: Only for servers without Plesk. Plesk generates virtual hosts itself under /var/www/vhosts/system/<domain>/conf/, a2ensite has no business there.

  • enable apache virtual host debian
