Why is cpanel over writing my default apache page?

[DWHS.net]

This is really screwed up, that page has important spam and disclosure information and now is covered up by cpanel's promotion!!!!!

This is not right who agreed to this?

I have to modify the page on all my servers to only have to over written again.

Please please cpanel re-think this.

It's wrong on so many levels.

Yep, same here. I just noticed it!

edit /usr/local/apache/htdocs/index.html

Then do 'chattr +i index.html' and cPanel won't touch it anymore (it will _only_ attempt to :P).

This makes the page so it can't be modified?

Great I didn't even think of a option like this, I was just mad and needed to vent.

Thanks this is perfect.

Yes However I do something different. I have my customized index.html as index-https.html and after every cPanel update I am just doing:

cp /usr/local/apache/htdocs/index-https.html /usr/local/apache/htdocs/index.html

(yes when asked to overwrite)

But this takes time

Go ahead and Vent! I feel for ya...

If there was an index page already up, than there is no need for cpanel to over right it.

I don't even care if it was the apache default page.

I have important instructions on this default page for my resellers to follow if they should ever encounter a problem and ended up there.

My last default page was chattr +i and still cpanel had overwritten the page.

so, now that I had did my little vent as well, It is time to go back and re-upload the default page once again.
