postcd
I had an instruction to add some ifmodule directive into httpd.conf . But appears this change was not reflected after i did: /usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller --update and then /usr/local/cpanel/bin/build_apache_conf Please how the easiest way i can modiffy this httpd.conf from A) command line, B) WHM and keep changes 4ever? This is httpd.conf header: [QUOTE]# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Direct modifications to the Apache configuration file may be lost upon subsequent regeneration of the # # configuration file.

    Were your custom changes inside a VirtualHost container, or outside? If the changes were inside a VirtualHost container, the distiller will not preserve them. The following documentation explains how to make changes that should go inside a VirtualHost container so that they will be preserved:

    Do your manual changes need to go inside a VirtualHost container, or outside a VirtualHost container? That is the first thing you need to establish, and that is why I asked that question in my previous reply. If you are not sure if the changes need to be inside or outside a VirtualHost container, you should ask the developer of the software you are trying to install. Once you know whether they should go inside or outside a VirtualHost container, the documentation explains how to make custom changes for each scenario.

    Developer i think dont mention if virtual host or not virtual host. But i found: Q. [QUOTE]But if I do it in cPanel/WHM do I need to insert it in the "Pre VirtualHost Include" in Apache Configuration?
    A. That is really a matter of choice. I myself inserted it on a lot of servers just before the section in the main httpd.conf file at /usr/local/apache/bin and ran the update script Another quotation: [QUOTE]The module directives should be written only inside httpd.conf file (per VirtualHost configuration is also supported).
    does it make more sense where to add it? I want to use this module for all cpanel accounts. So in which file and where to add it please?

    If the entries will apply to all virtual hosts, then the following part of the documentation would be applicable: Custom templates that will apply to all virtual hosts Thank you.

    so on "Home "Server Status "Apache Status" i see "Server Version: Apache/2.2.27 (Unix)". [QUOTE]ls -l /var/cpanel/templates total 24 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Apr 20 11:23 ./ drwxr-xr-x 83 root root 4096 Apr 23 12:39 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 20 11:23 apache1/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Apr 20 11:23 apache1_3 -> /var/cpanel/templates/apache1/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 23 05:39 apache2/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Apr 20 11:23 apache2_0 -> /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Apr 20 11:23 apache2_2 -> /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 20 11:23 apache2_4/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 20 10:51 dovecot2.2/
    so i assume i need to edit in apache2 directory ONLY?.. [QUOTE]ls -l /var/cpanel/templates/apache2 total 64 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 23 05:39 ./ drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Apr 20 11:23 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23684 Apr 23 05:39 main.default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7576 Apr 23 05:39 ssl_vhost.default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7576 Apr 20 17:36 ssl_vhost.local -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6940 Apr 23 05:39 vhost.default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6940 Apr 20 17:36 vhost.local
    but vhost.local and ssl:vhost.local is already existing and it contains alot of data. Im unsure where exactly i need to add my rule mentioned in third post of this topic? [QUOTE]head vhost.local ServerName [% wildcard_safe(vhost.servername) %] [% IF vhost.serveralias_array.size -%] [% FOREACH alias IN vhost.serveralias_array -%] ServerAlias [% alias %] [% END -%] [% ELSE -%] ServerAlias [% vhost.serveralias %] [% END -%]
    hope you can advice, help

    You can use an include file. EX: vi /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/mod_evasive.conf
    Add the custom entry you referenced earlier to this file. Save the file, then run: /scripts/verify_vhost_includes
    Then, assuming it does not fail, rebuild the Apache configuration file via: /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
    This adds the entry to all Virtual Hosts, regardless of Apache version. Thank you.
