httpd.conf edited but after 2 days it change to default file

What lines were edited? The httpd.conf file should not be directly edited, but include files would need to be used instead. Anytime /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf is run or EasyApache is processed, the httpd.conf file will be rebuilt using the following locations:

/var/cpanel/templates/apache2/
/var/cpanel/userdata
/usr/local/cpanel/
/var/cpanel/conf/apache/

The include files that should instead be used for adding entries to Apache are dependent upon the section you wish to have included. The non-VirtualHost includes are at /usr/local/apache/conf/includes location, while the VirtualHost include files would need to be created at /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/ location.

For example, if you wanted to add an entry into an existing domain's VirtualHost, you'd create for Apache 2 / Apache 2.2 for http (rather than https) the following folders:

Code:

mkdir -p /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/username/domain.com

Where username is the cPanel username and domain.com is the domain name. In that location, you would then place a file called newconf.conf (it simply needed to end in .conf) and put the contents into that file that should go into that domain's VirtualHost entry.

You can read documentation about the VirtualHost includes at the following:

Thanks!

 

Please provide exactly what you are changing in this portion:

Code:

<Directory "/">
    Options All
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Without the exact details, I cannot provide a resolution to solve it.

 

You've provided an incomplete copy of the entry. I'm pretty certain it cannot end in $ for -MultiVie$

Please provide the full entry you are using for me to test adding it so I can get details on how it can be added without it being removed.

 

I am unable to open the file on my Mac. Is it that difficult to simply provide the full lines for those 4 lines? Rather than using nano, simply use vi which doesn't cut lines short...

 

I think cPanelTristan was hoping for this actually. From your httpd.conf:

Code:

<Directory "/">
    Options -ExecCGI -FollowSymLinks -Includes IncludesNOEXEC Indexes -MultiViews SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    AllowOverride AuthConfig Indexes Limit FileInfo Options=IncludesNOEXEC,Indexes,Includes,MultiViews,SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
</Directory> 

Attachments above have been removed by me.

 

Hello,

With the correct Directory contents fully provided finally, I was able to test getting this to work. All you have to do is distill the changes to maintain those changes to that portion of httpd.conf file. These commands worked perfectly fine for me to keep that entry to replace the prior one I had:

Code:

cp /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf.bak110801
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller --update
/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
/etc/init.d/httpd restart

When you run the /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf part, that will show you if a change made directly to httpd.conf will be kept or not. In this instance, distilling the change did keep those lines upon an Apache rebuild.

In the future, please always provide the exact lines you are adding and what section they are replacing to make things go a lot quicker. Please do not attach the full httpd.conf file either.

Thanks!
