httpd-vhosts.conf error

httpd-vhosts.conf error
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

RE: httpd-vhosts.conf error
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

RE: httpd-vhosts.conf error
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

RE: httpd-vhosts.conf error
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.
