a2dismod: command not found

a2dismod is a command used to disable an Apache2 module in Ubuntu. Apache is a popular web server software that is often used to host websites on Linux servers. The a2dismod command is used to disable a specific Apache2 module. For example, if you wanted to disable the mod_rewrite module, you would run the command:

$ sudo a2dismod rewrite

This would disable the mod_rewrite module and prevent it from being loaded when Apache starts. To enable a disabled Apache2 module, you can use the a2enmod command. For example, to enable the mod_rewrite module, you would run:

$ sudo a2enmod rewrite

Keep in mind that you will need to restart Apache for the changes to take effect. You can do this by running the following command:

$ sudo service apache2 restart
