httpd.conf Include Files Not Working

[gldickens3]

The httpd.conf Include files in my cPanel installation do not appear to be working.

I have successfully added a new SSL certificate for a domain and need to modify the Virtual Host in my httpd.conf file to properly specify the DocumentRoot for the Virtual Host. The DocumentRoot was set to /usr/local/apache/htdocs, which is the default, and I need to change it to the directory where my website resides. I would normally just edit the httpd.conf file, however, I have read the following cPanel instructions which require that I implement my changes as include files:

http://cpanel.net/support/docs/ea/ea...irectives.html

As specified in the above document, I have put my DocumentRoot directive here:

/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/ssl/2/nobody/<ssl domain name>/domain.conf

My domain.conf file contains this one line:

DocumentRoot /home/<cpanel user name>/public_html

After which, I have run both of the following scripts without success:

/scripts/ensure_vhost_includes --user=<username>
/scripts/ensure_vhost_includes --all-users

According to the above cPanel document, after running these scripts the Include directives should have been added to my VirtualHost but they were not. So, my DocumentRoot directive was not implemented. Either I am doing something stupid or this stuff is broken on my machine.

Also, I have verified that my Include files are valid by running:

/scripts/verify_vhost_includes

Nothing that I do causes my new Document Root to be implemented via the Include file as per cPanel's documentation. I hope that somebody can enlighten me as to what I am doing wrong.

FYI, I am running Apache v2.2.9 with EA v3.2.0 and WHM 11.23.2 cPanel 11.23.6-R27698.

As an aside, it sure would have been nicer if I could have just modified my httpd.conf file like I have always done in Linux/Unix without all this extra baggage. The cPanel folks have just about improved their product to the point that it is simply not usable especially for *nix command line folks.

Thanks,

Hi David,

Thanks for your reply! I've got that ball in motion. About an hour ago I requested my hosting provider, bocacom.net, to submit a support ticket in my behalf.

FYI,

Gordon

Please let us know how they fix the problem since we've seen this problem appear on a few of our servers, but not all. So far its not a major problem for those servers which are not heavily used but we'd like to solve it.

Hello ,

Can you please do this

--> vi /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
--> search for your account name
--> find there this line
# Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/account_name/doamin_name/*.conf"
Uncomment this line

EVERY single domain has that line commented.

Are we supposed to edit the httpd.conf every time we add a domain and manually uncomment that line?

It seems that once i recompiled apache via EA some time ago, it even stopped reading the "extras" directory with my custom config changes... weird.
