Apache configuration is empty after rebuilding it

Symptoms

After rebuilding the Apache configuration with the rebuildhttpdconf script, the httpd.conf file is empty.

Description

The issue occurs when the Apache templates have become corrupt. They must be replaced for the Apache configuration to be rebuilt correctly.

Workaround

1. Access the server's command line as the 'root' user via SSH or "Terminal" in WHM.
2. Move the Apache templates folder aside.

   mv -v /var/cpanel/template_compiles/var/cpanel/templates/apache2_4{,.$(date +%s)}

3. Reinstall the ea-apache24-config-runtime package.

   yum reinstall ea-apache24-config-runtime

4. Rebuild the Apache configuration.

   /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf

5. Restart Apache.

   /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/restartsrv_httpd
