I'm getting the following error when trying to rebuild my Apache config with EA3 (WHM 62.0 (build 35)):

Code:
# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/build_apache_conf
Initial configuration generation failed with the following message:

The “/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd” command (process 491969) reported error number 1 when it ended.

I initially encountered this when I edited one of the include files via WHM (just adding a Passenger-related directive, nothing mentioning conf.d) and reverting that change makes no difference.

As far as I can tell /usr/local/apache/conf/conf.d has never existed and isn't mentioned anywhere in /usr/local/apache or in /var/cpanel/templates. It seems to be coming from this block in /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/main.default:

Code:
[% FOREACH dir IN main.include.items -%]
Include [% dir.include %]
[% END -%]
But I'm not sure where main.include.items is populated from.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hello,

Could you open a support ticket using the link in my signature so we can take a closer look to see how Apache has been configured?

Thank you.
