How do I add (and keep) my own entries in httpd.conf

[DRYALLS]

When I create domains, PLESK is creating an httpd.conf file per domain which is fair enough. Subdomains are added to the same file, also fair enough.

But if I edit the httpd.conf file in SSH, then add another subdomain, in PLESK, my edits are lost. Other things like disabling then re-enabling the domain in PLESK also cause hand made httpd.conf edits to be lost.

How can I ensure that any edits I make are preserved, or include my own file in httpd.conf?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Instead of editing the httpd.conf file, try using a vhost file in each domain. It will not get written over. Run a search on vhost and you'll find plenty of threads on the issue.

Thanks. By asking at other forums too, I was given this excellent link.

It answers my question perfectly. Even describes the problem I was having perfectly too. I normally pride myself on RTBM. But must have missed that.
