apache_conf_distiller is not working

[webofunni]

Hi All,

I have made some changes to the Apache configuration file.

#UserDir public_html
UserDir disabled
UserDir enabled user1 user2

After that I executed

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller --update

That gives

info [directives] 'local' datastore in use (/var/cpanel/conf/apache/local)
Distilled successfully

After that I tried /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf to test it. But it is replacing my changes.

I am not sure what is mean by :

info [directives] 'local' datastore in use (/var/cpanel/conf/apache/local)

Please help me to resolve it.

Any idea ?

The distiller works fine every time I try it. Try updating cpanel then do it again. If it still does not work you may want to have cpanel take a look at it for you.

Hello,

I ma using the latest Cpanel. It seems that the problem is with this :

info [directives] 'local' datastore in use (/var/cpanel/conf/apache/local)

Do you know why it creates that warning/error ?

as a last solution you can do

rm -f /var/cpanel/conf/apache/local

then

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/build_apache_conf

hope this help others stuck there.

To make the change you are making, try editing /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/main.local instead. If you don't have a main.local, copy main.default to main.local. This is how I generally do it - the distiller doesn't appear to lock in certain changes, so using the template is the best bet.

The message

"info [directives] 'local' datastore in use (/var/cpanel/conf/apache/local)"


is completely normal.


There is no need to remove this. It just shows that it is using a data store while doing the distillation. If you are seeing that the distiller doesn't work that is a different story all together, and you may need to open a ticket.

^ This. If you have to make major changes to httpd.conf file, use the templates. Before EasyApache3 there was nothing that would rebuild the httpd.conf file, so you better of had some backups somewhere if anything happened to it.

While it makes it hard to make simple changes kind of a pain, it was a step in the right direction on cPanel's part. Some doc links that I found to be wonderful on making custom changes inside and outside of vhosts. Nothing is more annoying when you add something to the httpd.conf and it won't save it so it survives a /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf.
