Apache "Module mod_alias does not exist"

Question

I installed apache on Debian:

sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-utils

and ran

a2enmod cgi alias env

I want to use ScriptAlias command. However I get the message Command is missing.

I find this answer where suggestion was made that I should use

a2enmod mod_alias

When I use it I get the message

Module mod_alias does not exist

Do you have any suggestions how to solve this ?

I try to configure git with these instructions.

Answer 1

Under debian, you can load the mod_alias module using:

$ sudo a2enmod alias

You should see two symbolic links alias.conf and alias.load in the folder /etc/apache2/mods-enabled.

After running this command, make sure that your current httpd configuration is correct using the following command:

$ sudo apache2ctl configtest

If no error message appears, restart the httpd server in order to activate this configuration change:

$ sudo service apache2 restart
