Changes to 'Listen' httpd.conf directives lost after every rebuild

[babakb]

We need to specify Apache to listen on specific IP's and ports. e.g.

Listen 127.0.0.1:80
Listen XXX.XXX.132.12:82
Listen XXX.XXX.132.13:82
... etc ...

The settings are lost everytime httpd.conf rebuillds. We've tried:

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

No success. Doesn't look like the distiller retains the 'Listen' httpd.conf directives. Any solution?

You will likely need to change the Listen directives in /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/main.default by copying it to /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/main.local location, then hardcoding the ones you want into that file. Here are the entries you'd be changing:

[% IF configured.ip_listen -%]
[%- FOREACH ip IN configured.ip_listen -%]
Listen [% ip %]:[% configured.main_port %]
[% END -%]
[% ELSE -%]
# Defined in /var/cpanel/cpanel.config: apache_port
Listen [% main.listen.item.listen %]
[% END -%]

[% IF configured.ip_listen_ssl -%]
[%- FOREACH ip IN configured.ip_listen_ssl -%]
    Listen [% ip %]:[% configured.main_port_ssl %]
[% END -%]
[% ELSE -%]
    # Defined in /var/cpanel/cpanel.config: apache_ssl_port
    Listen [% main.ifdefinessl.listen.item.listen %]
[% END -%]

Afterward, then just run the following:

/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
/etc/init.d/httpd restart

I am not aware of any other way for those to be hard-coded without being overwritten on EasyApache recompile or httpd rebuild.
