Hello together. as far as i know ISPConfig has base template 'nano nginx_vhost.conf.master' for nginx vhost files in /usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf. and ISPConfig allows customers to have own template if you put copy of that file to /usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf-custom then you can edit and its update safe. from that point everytime you set up a new domain inside then the vhost file is made with that template + directives from admin if you look for configuring your software to run with nginx like i do at the moment with owncloud 10.0.7 they have nice advice to have nginx file with all neccessary directives. but when i copy those things into ispconfig admin then i have the basic config lines from master template plus the one i entered (sometimes double) i got some support from till where i could learn that, for example you can delete some of the basic rules with having kind of following lines in your ispconfig location ~ \.php$ { ##delete## } location @php { ##delete## } this seems to delete already in the masterfile existing directives QUESTION: is it recommended/possible to edit whole file on my own for some domains? including server directives port listen etc. in other words: is it possible to switch off this "autoconfig" only for one domain? Best regards Markus
No. If you want to have a vhost that is not managed by ISPConfig, then you'll have to create that manually outside of ISPConfig.
