/scripts/ensure_vhost_includes --user=name - No longer works.

Hi,

I used to be able to add an include file for an individual account in the httpd.conf, and then lock it in with:

/scripts/ensure_vhost_includes --user=(account user id)

But these days the above command just removed the custom include line that I just inserted.

In the individual vsite areas of the httpd.conf file, we have this:

# DO NOT EDIT. AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED. IF YOU NEED TO MAKE A CHANGE PLEASE USE THE INCLUDE FILES.

That's fine, but none of the include lines in the vsite area are account specific. So if I included, in this case, the mod_security exception rule needed for this particular site. This rule would apply to every account on the server, which is not what we need here:

Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/*.conf"
Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/*.owner-root"
Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/*.conf"
Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/*.owner-root"
Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/*.conf"
Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/*.owner-root"


So how can I put up a custom include rule just for one particular vsite?

Thanks much.

You would put it into /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/username/*.conf location where [b]username[b] is the cPanel username *.conf is the name of the include file such as modsec.conf for example.

The documentation on using these includes can be found at the following location:

Thanks but the problem is, you can't alter any of the existing includes, nor insert any new includes with "/username", if you do it's removed after running /scripts/ensure_vhost_includes --user=name

If the entry that it should be placing into httpd.conf (you don't manually place the entry into httpd.conf) is being removed on running the command, then please open up a ticket and post the ticket number here. I've never heard of this happening. You can open up a ticket in WHM > Support Center > Contact cPanel or using the link in my signature.
