Adding an Alias to an account in httpd.conf that will survive a rebuild?

[Kadence]

How can one modify an account in httpd.conf, in a way that will survive a rebuild by cPanel? For instance adding an Alias to an account.

It might perhaps be done like

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias www.domain.com
Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/includes/edit.conf"
</VirtualHost>

With edit.conf being

Alias /dir1 /dir2

However I don't think that would survive a rebuild by cPanel.

What version of cPanel/WHM are you using? For a while now, each vhost has had a note along the lines of:


# To customize this VirtualHost use an include file at the following location
# Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/apache_major_version/username/domain/*.conf"

Would this override any settings present in httpd.conf - for instance, if there is an open_basedir restriction in place, what would you place in such a file to disable it?

Also, I have Apache/2.0.63 and cPanel 11.24.5-R38506, but I don't see a userdata folder in my /usr/local/apache/conf directory. There is a /usr/local/apache/conf/sites folder though which contains files of the type domain.com.conf and www.domain.com.conf (both of them for each domain).

Anyone know about this? It seems not every domain has .conf files in the /usr/local/apache/conf/sites folder, and also if the config differs the httpd.conf value overrides those files anyway.

I do need to restart cPanel occassionally, and when I do the changes I've manually made to httpd.conf (e.g. adding an Alias or AliasMatch, or commenting out open_basedir restrictions) are undone by the rebuild.
