Custom Apache Directive Cleanup

[teknosoul]

Hello,

When changing the owner of a domain, does cPanel automatically cleanup anything that was in:

/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/(ssl|std)/(1|2)/<user>/<domain>/

For instance, if I had directives in mydomain.com owned by user1 in the directory:

/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/user1/mydomain.com

and changed the owner to user2, what happens to the files in there?

Also, why doesn't a Virtualhost for something like mydomain.com have the include directive for custom directives, but subdomains do. Here is an example of what I'm seeing:

<VirtualHost IP:80>
ServerName mydomain.com
ServerAlias www.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /home/user/public_html
ServerAdmin webmaster@mydomain.com
## User user # Needed for Cpanel::ApacheConf
<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
suPHP_UserGroup user user
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_disable_suexec.c>
SuexecUserGroup user user
</IfModule>
CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/mydomain.com-bytes_log "%{%s}t %I .\n%{%s}t %O ."
CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/mydomain.com combined
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/user/public_html/cgi-bin/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost IP:80>
ServerName sub.mydomain.com
ServerAlias www.sub.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /home/user/public_html/m
ServerAdmin webmaster@sub.mydomain.com
UseCanonicalName On
CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/sub.mydomain.com combined
CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/sub.mydomain.com-bytes_log "%{%s}t %I .\n%{%s}t %O ."
## User user # Needed for Cpanel::ApacheConf
<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
suPHP_UserGroup user user
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_disable_suexec.c>
SuexecUserGroup user user
</IfModule>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/user/public_html/m/cgi-bin/


# To customize this VirtualHost use an include file at the following location
# Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/user/sub.mydomain.com/*.conf"

</VirtualHost>

Why is there no directives for the Include on mydomain.com but there is a commented out one on sub.mydomain.com - and how do I enable these?

I believe that the apache userdata system is non-dynamic, meaning that if you modify a username or owner, you will have to manually (or script) the directory change.

As for ensuring that the includes get used, please see:

cPanel - Apache Configuration System - Internal WHM & cPanel Changes

specically /scripts/ensure_vhost_includes (it takes a --help flag..)

LMK if you need assistance with using this script.
