Httpd.conf problems (don't like .htaccess)

[friedbrain]

Hi everyone,
after searching and trying all day I gave up, so here I am. I have a question:
I need to put a few Apache rewrites and Deny ++ in httpd.conf. I understand that editing it manually means it will go away the next rebuild since Cpanel gets the info from the user's information.

I am here Changes Contained within a VirtualHost Directive I have full root access.
Can someone please distill this in a few lines? If my hostname /username is jones and I have Apache 2, the Cpanel admin is https but otherwise no ssl, what file name do I create? Where do I put it and any particular thing from my current stuff in htppd that needs to be left out?

Thanks.

Can you clarify what it is exactly you're hoping to do? It might be helpful for someone to assist more accurately.

Sorry for not making it clear. I have lots of custom apache rewrites for almost all my sites and I would rather not use .htaccess. How /where do I put that in the httpd.conf /cpanel data so it's not erased by the next update.

Thanks again

You will need to provide exact specifics on some of those rewrites for us to know what needs to be done, since there are multiple locations rewrites can be done and the location to use is dependent on what exactly you are going to change.

Hi Tristan,
they need to be inside each virtual host.

I am posting some and would appreciate any help. I'm lost. I have Apache 2 and have no SSL (other than accessing Cpanel)

Tristan my other comment is pending,
I have setup the directory at /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/mycpanelusername/ (apache 2, no ssl)

I am supposed to create a $includename.conf file in that folders. It's probably very obvious but what does $includename really mean? Do I have to name it a specific way with $include and name being ???

And in the file do I put the same things I'd put on a normal conf file to control behavior within certain directories?

Thanks

[cPanelTristan]

For $includename.conf, that stands for the name of the file, so name it whatever you want such as myinclude.conf would work. You should not name it with a $ in the file name.

For a specific account, you would put it into /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/username/ location where std is http, 2 is Apache 2 or Apache 2.2, and username is the cPanel username.

After placing that content, you wouldn't use the distiller, you'd use the following to check the include and then add it:

/scripts/verify_vhost_includes
/scripts/ensure_vhost_includes --user=username

Again, replace username with the cPanel username. You might then want to run the following:

/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
