How to reset account home folder path - apache include issue.

[rickwhitehead]

Issue:
Cpanel account home folder path has changed to a document root (which is outside of account home) of a subdomain previously added to the same account using an include file.

Steps to reproduce:
Using an include file, I defined a subdomain document root which was outside of the account home folder. (the path to the document root of a gitlab installation) I quickly realised the cpanel account user didn't have sufficient access permissions for this directory. And then discovered errors displayed in cpanel for the cpanel account.

Steps attempted to reset:
I hid the .conf file from EasyApache, by renaming it:

# mv /etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata/ssl/2_4/user/subdomain/includename.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata/ssl/2_4/user/subdomain/.includename.conf.BAK

,
rebuilt the httpd conf:

# /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf

and restarted apache:

# /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/restartsrv_httpd

When this didn't resolve the errors I also removed the subdomain via cpanel interface and restarted httpd service from WHM.

Environment:
/etc/redhat-release:CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 (Core)
/usr/local/cpanel/version:11.82.0.16
/var/cpanel/envtype:standard
CPANEL=release

Errors in cpanel:
