[James Eco]

Hello,

Hey there!

As Varnish is not software we support at cPanel, I am limited in regards to what information I can provide. Default page errors like this occur when there is a disconnect between a request being received in a browser and the Apache webserver. The most common cause is an IP mismatch; where the IP address assigned to a domain in the Apache configuration differs from the IP address the domain is pointing to at the DNS level. Or, the domain simply doesn't exist on the server.

There could also be an issue with how the Apache ports are assigned in the virtual host configuration, considering you moved the Apache port to 8080.

We have an article written that should help you in troubleshooting this default page issue.

Why does my website show the default cPanel page?

Sometimes, when you load a site it will load a default cPanel page. When you access the server's main IP address on port 80, it displays the default page, since by default, there are no IP-based Vi...

after investigating I can see that it is not related to varnish.

AND ALL OF MY SITES -REDIRECTED TO http://my_domain.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi
noticed that just www.mydomain.com redirect me to HTTPS.
Thank you

Troubleshooting this issue further would require a review of your Apache virtual hosts, userdata, etc... Which contain sensitive information. Because of this, could you open a ticket using the link in my signature and update me with the incident ID? That way I can keep this thread updated regarding the findings of the investigation.

Thanks!

Does this help:

Configure apache to listen on port other than 80

I use centOS server. I want to configure apache to listen on port 8079. I added LISTEN 8079 directive in httpd.conf. I opened port 8079 in iptables and restarted iptables. I even stopped iptables

As an aside I'm a little confused by the wording of " when using just http " ... as in, what where you using before? https? You should be using https whereever possible.
