Overriding the default cpanel-proxy.conf

The default directives that are defined in cpanel-proxy.conf cannot be directly changed as they would reset on a cPanel update. However, the settings can be overwritten with an include .conf file in the following location:

/etc/nginx/conf.d/includes-optional/cpanel-proxy-vendors/my-proxy-overrides-go-here.conf

The file can be named anything as long as it has the .conf extension.

Note: The directory /etc/nginx/conf.d/includes-optional/cpanel-proxy-vendors/ may not exist and can be created with the following command

mkdir -vp /etc/nginx/conf.d/includes-optional/cpanel-proxy-vendors/
