Apache Prefork via CLI

[KD0IGO]

Hello.

We've recently started moving from of our Apache builds over to Prefork. I'm looking for a way to update Prefork settings via SSH/CLI to various systems.

The only way that I see to manage these settings as of now is to log into WebHost Manager, manually making the modifications, then rebuilding the Apache configuration. I'm looking for a way to automate these setting updates. Also, is it possible to update the prefork settings without rebuilding the httpd conf?

Thanks!

Hi KD0IGO,

As you know, the Apache MPM configuration options (that control at a global level) are typically adjusted by going to WHM -> Service Configuration -> Global Configuration.

The apache configuration options you select are then stored in the YAML configuration file, /var/cpanel/conf/apache/local.

If I were trying to accomplish this quickly, I would likely log into a single WHM server, make my changes, copy the resulting YAML configuration file to all of the other machines, then run /scripts/buildhttpdconf. This way I don't need to worry about malformed configuration issues.

If you have any additional questions, or perhaps this isn't quite what you need, please let us know.
