Modifying Default vhost for unbound IPs

[ron_r]

I'm working on a VPS and know the edits necessary to change the wildcard host to have a different document (other than /usr/local/apache/conf ), change the user, etc.

That's fine as long as I don't make changes on the server that affect the web configuration with cpanel.

I've tried several times to get distiller to store those changes to the cpanel datastore/templates with no luck. I've also tried editing the config files in /var/cpanel/userdata/user/domain.tld.

I have not found a way to prevent /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf from adding the wildcard host or successfully configure the vhost source files so that the wildcard requests go to different web account (ex. serveralias: *):

NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost 12.34.56.78:80
NameVirtualHost *

# Default vhost for unbound IPs

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName server.domain.com
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/htdocs
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
</VirtualHost>

Is there a way to eliminate the default wildcard host or modify it in the cpanel source data?

Thanks for the help.

The common thread in the related threads after I posted was that this question doesn't get answered. That's up to you folks. Something you may want to keep in mind is that I would not have this problem if my VPS was using plesk instead of cPanel.
