httpd-vhosts.conf error

[CliffMitchell]

zPanel overwrites the httpd-vhosts.conf file every time apache restarts or the server is rebooted. When zPanel (10.1.1) creates virtual domain entries in httpd-vhosts.conf it includes the entry:

<location /cgi-bin>
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
Options ExecCGI -Indexes
</location>

Unfortunately this includes an error: the - in front of "Indexes" should not be there and causes current versions of apache to fail to restart. I can manually edit this file (multiple entries, one for each virtual domain) but I have to do this every time the server or apache restarts. The questions is, where does zPanel get this  bit of code? I have looked in the SQL tables, the config files, and in the php files but can't find it. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks,
Cliff

1. You should not have such error. Also Perl/CGI should not be enabled under zpanel as they are not secure.

2. you might check:

https://github.com/zpanel/zpanelx/blob/m...n.hook.php

Path under linux box:

/etc/zpanel/panel/modules/apache_admin/hooks/OnDaemonRun.hook.php

Thanks M B, that's really helpful. However, I have checked my version of OnDaemonRun.hook.php and it appears to be correct. But, if I create a new domain in zpanel the code added to httpd-vhosts.conf for the new domain includes this block:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/_cgi-bin/"
<location /cgi-bin>
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
Options ExecCGI -Indexes
</location>

Where could this be coming from and how do I disable PERL/CGI from zPanel? Can I force zPanel to recreate the httpd-vhosts.conf file?
Thanks,

Cliff

Ah, I just found the code in the x_settings table in the database. There is a cgi_handler row that contains the cgi code block that has been causing my problems. The row was flagged as not user editable which is why I couldn't see it in zPanel. I have removed the code from the dabase but left the table row in place, just in case. This has solved my problem. I can only guess that this is a hangover from problems we had some time ago when we missed a zPanel upgrade and had problems catching up.
Anyway, many many thanks for your help - you pointed me in exactly the right direction!

You are welcome good to see it resolved.

Also disable CGI in all packages.
