# Direct modifications to the Apache configuration file may be lost upon subsequent regeneration of the #
# configuration file. To have modifications retained, all modifications must be checked into the #
# configuration system by running: #
# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller --update #
# To see if your changes will be conserved, regenerate the Apache configuration file by running: #
# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/build_apache_conf #
# and check the configuration file for your alterations. If your changes have been ignored, then they will #
# need to be added directly to their respective template files. #
# #
# It is also possible to add custom directives to the various "Include" files loaded by this
httpd.conf #
# For detailed instructions on using Include files and the apache_conf_distiller with the new configuration #
# system refer to the documentation at: http://www.cpanel.net/support/docs/ea/ea3/customdirectives.html #
# #
# This configuration file was built from the following templates: #
# /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/main.default #
# /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/main.local #

# /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/vhost.local #

# /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/ssl_vhost.local #

# Templates with the '.local' extension will be preferred over templates with the '.default' extension. #
