build_apache_config error

[jandafields]

When I build apache config, it errors because of this file:
/var/cpanel/templates/apache1/main.local


In this file, there are references to:
Order [% main.directoryusrlocalapachehtdocs.order.item.order %]
Order [% main.ifmodulemodaliasc.directoryusrlocalapacheicons.order.item.order %]
..
..
..
etc

All of the main section order.item.order variables are blank, because when it builds httpd.conf, it has this line:

Order

instead of this line:
Order allow,deny

So, apache complains about the syntax error.


Background:
Everything was working fine... then I got a new server install and copies all the cpanel stuff over. Everything works perfectly fine now except for that one issue.

I have temporarily fixed it by changing the line in mail.local from:
Order [% main.ifmodulemodaliasc.directoryusrlocalapacheicons.order.item.order %]

to:
Order allow,deny


So... where does it get that variable from, why is it missing, and how to fix? I have upcp --force, and ran easyapache to recompile.

I am using Apache 1.3

I am using Apache 1.3

The first issue I would address is your still running Apache 1.3 ...

I would strongly advise going to at least a minimum of Apache 2.0
because of a great many reasons least of which security.

Other than that, if you are still having this issue I could probably
help you look into things further but I would definitely consider
upgrading up to Apache 2.0 or Apache 2.2.

It won't compile Apache2:

I've not changed the apache2 templates at all, they are default.

I figured it out... cPanel changed a lot of variable names. This isn't a problem if you are not using .local files.

However, if you are using .local files like they suggest, then they update .default files and your .local files are now outdated, but they are still forced to be used.
