EA3 migration to EA4 not migrate VirtualHost customizations

Hi,

This is correct, and on purpose. If we were to transfer include files, with the new system paths, there are no ways for us to properly guarantee that those includes are working and don't conflict with the new platform.

eg: If you have '/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2_4/user/domain.tld/include.conf' that has 'Include /usr/local/apache/conf/includes/my_personal_include.conf' in it, it's really hard for us to ensure these configurations work on the new platform without going in and manually adjusting those includes, which could cause further issues if it messes one up.

At this time, includes need to be manually transferred.

I hope this helps!

Seems to be that the fact that a manual migration is required ought to be mentioned here at least:

The new locations for the include files are mentioned here but not the fact that they must be migrated manually:

Finally I don't see any EA4 version of this page, which explains how to use include files:
