In apache, a2enmod - command not found error

kganeshkumar12

Im looking to install phusion passenger to run rails and nodejs site.
During the installation, I need to enable passenger in apache modules with command "sudo a2enmod passenger". This command returns the following error "Command 'a2enmod' not found"

Im using ubuntu 18.04 LTS server.
usually, apache will be installed in path /etc/apache
but aapanel installation installed apache in the following path /www/server/apache/
All online forums suggests to install apache again to enable a2enmod command.
but if I install apache again using the command, it will get installed in the default path /etc/apache
This may lead to conflict.

Can anyone help me in this scenario to help me to enable a2enmod command

While I'm trying to find a fix for the above issue Im facing,
I noted that the webserver service is running as httpd instead of apache2.

As far as I know, httpd is for centos and apache2 is for ubuntu.
The server I'm using is ubuntu 18.04 LTS only.

Can anyone comment the explanation for this along with the solution for the issue mentioned above?

Ubuntu's apache is compiled installed so it startup process is httpd, a2enmod It seems to be a unique command of ubuntu debian

@aaPanel_Jose
you just gave simple response which I can easily find in stackoverflow and other forums.
The response you gave is not even in the aspect towards a solution.
It looks like just a formal cooment made just to show that this forum is responsive towards questions asked.

can u mention how to achive that
i.e enabling apache modules in aapanel?

Use normal when I use nginx

When using apache and manually add the phusion module

When I change the process name httpd to apache2, it can be monitored. I have not found the specific reason.

If your webserver can be replaced with nginx, just use the official tutorial, otherwise you may need to troubleshoot the problem.
