I have a centos 7 server.
For apache, I dont want to use ssl.conf and want to use my own customized files pyramid.conf and pylons.conf and django.conf etc.
So for each python framework, I created separate conf file and everything works fine until yesterday. When automatic security updates were applied to system. And that made ssl.conf magically appear under /etc/hhtpd/conf.d
Is there any way I can get rid of ssl.conf .
I guess I can paraphrase the advice given in the welcome.conf file (that is responsible for the "1,2,3, testing" page): the package manager has no way of knowing that the file was once there and you intentionally deleted it and do not want it to come back. It is marked as a configuration file, though, so if you have changed its contents, the package manager will not overwrite it with a new ssl.conf (putting the new file into ssl.conf.rpmnew instead).
What this means for your problem is: just comment out all the lines in ssl.conf, if you think you want them for future reference, or do
rm /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf; touch /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf
to replace it with an empty file. Either way, it won't influence the configuration state of your server anymore, and rpm will see that you've changed the file, so it won't touch it.
ssl.conf file in place. I was already bitten by this in the past. +1
