cPanel Default page

[Daniel_DBS]

Well I have a question about my cPanel VPS...

On my cPanel VPS, when you visit hostname.domain.com it displays the cPanel default page... I would like to change that to a server status script instead, however, I cannot figure out where the directory is that I would need to put those files in...

I was able to do this on my Interworx VPS quite easily since the default page is in /var/www/htdocs


Any ideas on what directory to use?

quick way to do it:

Edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, add the following:

<VirtualHost your.main.vps.ip.address>
   BytesLog domlogs/hostname.domain.com-bytes_log
   ServerName hostname.domain.com
   DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/hostnamedomaincom
</VirtualHost>

Create the directory /usr/local/apache/hostnamedomaincom

Add anything you like in there, it will be your document root for your vps.

run "service httpd restart" to get apache reloaded. If you run a very recent version of apache then "service httpd reconfigure" will also work and won't stop apache from serving pages at the same time.

/usr/local/apache/htdocs/ is where mine is located

Figures it took me too long to find it and Thisistit would beat me to it. All the help I received lately and finally I think I can help someone else... haha

Thanks Thisisit and Frank! I just tried Franks suggestion and it worked great! (minus the internal server error issue, which i was able to solve)

Ok so Frank your idea worked at first and then it generated an unstoppable Internal Server Error and I couldnt figure it out so I handed it off to support and they failed to understand what I was saying and kept deleting my files in that directory and saying I can view a phpinfo() page at a different URL on my VPS which was not at ALL what I was trying to do, I did not want a phpinfo() page but a status script...

I went back and tried Thisisit's suggestion and voila! It works great!

Thanks for your help Thisisit & Frank!
