Hi, I am using a CRM system that requires specific configuration settings on the server. Yesterday I added some of the specificastions to the http.conf file located at: nano /etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf Then I noticed when |I re-started the server all my changes disappeared. I later spotted the message at the foot of http.conf file saying this particular file should not be edited. It says we should use include files. My question is, where do I find the include file to add my changes? I need to add/change things like: Header: Referrer-Policy same-origin Header: X-Powered-By In addition I need to add these values: max_connections 151 thread_cache_size 9 key_buffer_size 8.00 MB query_cache_size 40 MB tmp_table_size 16 MB max_heap_table_size 16 MB I tried adding them to the following file (after google search it pointed me to that file): nano /etc/my.cnf But the changes don't take effect. Is someone able to tell me what the correct files are that I should be editing? Kind regards

  For httpd.conf you can try this this below in WHM

  • Home "
  • Service Configuration "
  • Apache Configuration "
  • Include Editor

  Then Select All Versions under Pre VirtualHost Include Enter what you need to put in and click on Update. For /etc/my.cnf file I do not mess with this. I run Joomla, Word Press and few others and had no issues with defauts. But in the Tweak Settings

  • Home "
  • Server Configuration "
  • Tweak Settings

  In the MySQL Tab I turned on everything including this below and allow cPanel to control it. Allow cPanel & WHM to determine the best value for your MySQL innodb_buffer_pool_size configuration? [?] cPanel & WHM will use your total number of tables to adjust the innodb_buffer_pool_size value during each MySQL restart. I hope this helps.
