Customize apache's default VirtualHost

After making changes you'll need to distill to protect those changes:

Code:

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

That should do it.

 

Modifying /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf directly for the VirtualHost sections will not be maintained at all. This is indicated above each one, including the default VHost for the server's hostname:

If you wish to modify that default entry, you'd do so in /var/cpanel/userdata/nobody/host.domain.com where host.domain.com is the server's hostname. Here's what it looks like:

Code:

root@host [~]# cat /var/cpanel/userdata/nobody/host.domain.com
---
documentroot: /usr/local/apache/htdocs
group: nobody
hascgi: 1
ifmodulemodsuphpc:
  group: nobody
ip: "*"
phpopenbasedirprotect: 1
port: 80
serveradmin: user@email.com
serveralias: ''
servername: host.domain.com
usecanonicalname: 'Off'
user: nobody
userdirprotect: ''

If you revise the path in this file, please run the following commands afterward:

Code:

cp /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf.bak120508
/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
/etc/init.d/httpd restart

Thanks!
