I have access to a WHM/cPanel setup from a client and would like to add a VirtualHost listening on a different port. I'm not very familiar with WHM/cPanel, but I am familiar with changing Apache config files. I know in order to accomplish what I want, I would need to change httpd.conf and add the following: Listen ... How could I do that the cPanel/WHM way? Would I need to create another WHM account, or could I use an existing one? Thank you

  Hello :) Do you have root access to this server? If so, the following document should be helpful: Modify Virtualhost Containers With Include Files Thank you.

  Thank you for your response, Michael. From what I am understanding, I don't need to create another cPanel account, correct? Say that I have an account where it's pointing to: mydomain.com. What I want to do is to have mydomain.com:7000 pointing to a different folder, but it can be owned by the same user. And yes, I do have root access to the server. Thanks

  I forgot to ask: can I create a new virtualhost using these include files, or do they only change an existing virtualhost container? If the latter, I don't see a way to create a new virtualhost directive.

  You can actually modify the httpd.conf file directly if you need to, provided you use the Apache distiller after making changes. This is documented here: Modify the httpd.conf file directly As far as what custom entries to use, you may need to consult with a system administrator if you are not sure what custom modifications are required for your preferred setup. Thank you.
