In Progress [CPANEL-24040] Using whmapi1 set_service_config_key with Apache

[jmginer]

Hello,

I run this command:

whmapi1 set_service_config_key api.version=1 service=apache key=startservers value=10

The result resturn OK

---
metadata:
  command: set_service_config_key
  reason: Succeeded
  result: 1
  version: 1

But nothing's changed when I connect to the WHM > Apache > Global conf

What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Have you looked at the docs for this?
WHM API 1 Functions - set_service_config_key - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation

 

[jmginer]

@Infopro Yes, but what do you mean?

 

[Infopro]

Well, I'm thinking about this mesaage, there:

Warning:
As of cPanel & WHM version 58, only the dovecot service is compatible with this function

I assume then that, service=apache, is not compatible. No clue if I'm correct here or not though, just going by what I read on that docs page.

Strange, the get_service_config function in the documentation also says that it only works with dovecot, but it does return Apache results correctly.

# whmapi1 get_service_config service=apache

Then, can tell me how I can automate the implementation of the configurations?

* Apache Global Configuration
* Exim Configuration
* FTP Server Configuration
* Backup Configuration

Thanks!

Hello @jmginer,

Internal case CPANEL-24040 is open to address an issue where the set_service_config_key WHM API 1 function accepts Apache as an input parameter for service despite the apparent intended limitation of this function to the Dovecot service. I'll monitor this case and update this thread with more information as it becomes available.

can tell me how I can automate the implementation of the configurations?

* Apache Global Configuration
* Exim Configuration
* FTP Server Configuration
* Backup Configuration

You may find the cpconftool script useful as an alternative for all of the quoted configurations (except for FTP):

The cpconftool Script - Version 82 Documentation - cPanel Documentation

For FTP, the instructions on the document below are applicable:

FTP Server Configuration - Version 82 Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Let me know if this helps.

Thank you.

Thanks @cPanelMichael I'm going to investigate this cpconftool.
