I was wondering if it is possible to host sites with the majority using ISPconfig and a some with Virtual hosting setup normally. It seems like once your save a site with ISPconfig, apache uses the ispconfig file for virtual hosting. Once saved I can edit this config file with my own virtual host information, but if I make changes in ISPconfig then my edits get wiped out. Is there any way around this?
I don't know why you want this and i don't recommend it, but it is possible: Apache2 which serves your sites on port 80 & 443 has a configuration file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf which contains the line: Include /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf Because of this, the virual hosts created by ISPConfig are included. So you can create an own vhost file within the same way which is not driven by ISPConfig.
If you login as administrator, you have a box called "Apache Directives" you can place whatever you want in there, so no need to edit your vhosts.
