Thread: [cPanel-News] New cPanel 11.25.0 Installation Apache configuration syntax errors

cPanel 11.25.0 has a slight problem, but it shouldn't affect most users.

The release of 11.25.0-RELEASE_42399 and 11.25.0-CURRENT_42399 introduced a configuration issue that may cause Apache configuration syntax errors on servers with no accounts when the mod_userdir tweak is enabled. The condition will present itself upon addition of the first account to the server. This issue is quickly addressed by rebuilding the Apache configuration file.

Symptoms:
The following error can be seen in the cpanel error_log and when attempting to restart Apache:

UserDir "enable" keyword requires a list of usernames

Newly created websites would be sent to defaultwebpage.cgi instead of the appropriate document root.

Resolutions:
1) New builds, 11.25.0-CURRENT_42400 and 11.25.0-RELEASE_42400, have been published to address the issue. This issue will not be present on subsequent new installations. Upgrading a currently affected system will resolve this issue.

2) Rebuilding the Apache configuration after the addition of the first account will permanently resolve this issue.

From the command line:
/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
/scripts/restartsrv_httpd

or

/scripts/autorepair userdir_enable_fix
/scripts/restartsrv_httpd


From the WHM:
Service Configuration -> Apache Configuration -> Global Configuration ->
Save -> Rebuild Configuration and Restart Apache

Note:
The Apache configuration may be rebuilt as a result of other changes made in the WHM. Your new installation may not experience this issue as a result the the Apache configuration being rebuilt automatically.

We have received updates from cPanel. They say that cPanel/WHM version 11.25 is their "most advanced release ever". I shall say that I'm amazed how friendly is and open company is cPanel Inc. compared to competitors.

BTW: Their team (developers, quality assurance experts, and technical analysts) will be on hand to answer clients question on Jan 14.

cPanel has been the best from the very beginning. The staff are great for staying on top of things and keeping customers informed.
