How can I change the default Cpanel landing page ?

[PointWebDesign]

That page on green which says "There is no website configured at this address.", where is located on server ?

I need to find it and modify it.

Thanks in advance !

Alex

It's been said before, but here it is again...
/etc/httpd/htdocs/index.html

So has this, every cPanel update will overwrite the changes you make there. Better to just make it a domain instead.

I'm not sure this is the case anymore - we have a page there on all our servers which used to get overwritten with cPanel updates (we ran a cron to re-write it again!), but this doesn't seem to happen with the latest releases.

Can you expand on that a bit?

Mine is located at:
/usr/local/apache/htdocs

There is a new index.html with the latest Current builds that has different text:

Great Success !
Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server
If you can see this page, then the people who manage this server have installed cPanel and WebHost Manager (WHM) which use the Apache Web server software and the Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) successfully. They now have to add content to this directory and replace this placeholder page, or else point the server at their real content.

Although this site is running cPanel, WebHost Manager, and Apache software it almost certainly has no other connection to cPanel Inc. or the Apache Group.

I can second this, the page on my boxes hasnt been overwritten since I added it

I had modified the page but as of the past few days, its getting overwritten. At least with Current builds it is. During yesterday's update, all of my default pages were overwritten.

Am I the only who is seeing this? It may be specific to current builds only. The page, however, has been overwritten each night. Any suggestions on how to prevent that?

It doesnt affect current builds specifically as I am running current myself, the permissions of the file are: root/root 644

I dont know if thats any use though.
