Preserve httpd.conf during recompile

[kives]

I am using cPanel and EasyApache with this configuration:

cPanel 11.24.5-R37629 - WHM 11.24.2 - X 3.9
CENTOS 5.3 i686 virtuozzo on h187420

When I recompile apache using EasyApache through WHM it overwrites my httpd.conf, even though I have ran the distiller listed in the top of the comments of the httpd.conf.

Am I missing something? I hate having to fix hot swap my httpd.conf back when recompiling to enable a PHP or Apache extension. I have also modified it so that that htdocs is inside a home directory (/home/user_name/public_html) instead of the traditional /usr/local/apache/htdocs

Thanks!

Starting with cPanel 11.x all the apache settings are also stored in a database and the configuration files are recreated each time an account is added or a recompile is done.

To also save the changes in the database you will have to run:
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller –update

You can check to see if the changes were accepted and will not be discarded at the next apache recompile by running :
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/build_apache_conf
