How to load the modules for Apache2?

  • 772

I want to load some modules for proxy configuration. I have the modules installed under /etc/apache2/mods-available/xxx

How do I load them into /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/xxx ?

In other words, in which configuration should this be placed?

LoadModule proxy_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy_http.so
apache2

    You can enable modules using a2enmod. For example:

    a2enmod proxy

    That command will create a symlink inside /etc/apache2/mods-enabled that points to the module in /etc/apache2/mods-available.

    Likewise, to disable a module, use a2dismod. That command will remove the symlink from the mods-enabled directory.

    Bonus tip: there exist similar commands to enable/disable sites: look at a2ensite and a2dissite.
