apache2 - Compiled Apache – no conf-enabled/conf-available/mods-available etc. folders - Ask Ubuntu

i compiled apache (httpd-2.4.23) using these commands:

apache_confdir=/etc/apache2 apache_envvars=$apache_confdir/envvars cflags="-o2 -dbig_security_hole"  ./configure --prefix=$apache_confdir make make install 

however, there folders conf-enabled/conf-available/mods-available etc. missing. do wrong or kind of new folder structure?

there folders conf , modules

also, there no commands a2ensite, a2enmod etc. in /usr/sbin , can't find them anywhere. thank you

a large part of distribution ubuntu integrate large number of different software multitude of different origins , combine them coherent system. that, in many cases original software has adapted or extended.

that's case apache. whole *-available , *-enabled structure not apache projects doing, speak, part of how debian integrated apache httpd distribution. therefore, you'll find in debian , debian-based distributions ubuntu, not in "original" apache compiled yourself.

but it's not hard build structures yourself. need create folders yourself, , have apache read configs in there includeoptional directive in apache.conf. that's debian version of apache.conf does:

... # include module configuration: includeoptional mods-enabled/*.load includeoptional mods-enabled/*.conf ... # include generic snippets of statements includeoptional conf-enabled/*.conf  # include virtual host configurations: includeoptional sites-enabled/ ... 

the commands a2ensite, a2enmod , forth part of debian integration. in fact, of symbolic links on a2enmod, perl script. of them add (a2en*) or remove (a2dis*) symbolic links respective *-available directory *-enabled directory. example, a2ensite mysite.conf create symlink in site-enabled/mysite.conf refers site-available/mysite.conf. , sites-enabled directory can integrated in apache.conf, shown above.

so can create symlinks ln -s, or can write little script in language of choice that.
