Preserve amends to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ?

[robocrop]

Is there a way to preserve amends we make to first (default) VirtualHost container in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf?

We have a custom setup for a site and we want all unmatched hostnames to be caught by that VirtualHost. As per Apache manual all unmatched hosts are processed by first VirtualHost directive, hence we copied DocumentRoot, suPHP user and some other values from out main site's VH.

Running /usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller --update and then /usr/local/cpanel/bin/build_apache_conf reverts our changes.

edit httpd.conf through WHM using the following path in WHM.

Service Configuration -> Apache Configuration -> Include Editor -> Pre VirtualHost Include -> All Versions -> pre_virtualhost_global.conf
I added my Vhost details here, saved and restarted Apache and it worked perfectly.

This will put the VH information even above the default virtual host so will act as the "catch all" account.
