Question

How do I change the PHP upload path when using PHP-FPM?

Answer

1. Access the server's command line as the root user via SSH or Terminal in WHM.

2. Open the /var/cpanel/userdata/cpuser/domain.tld.php-fpm.yaml file in your preferred text editor.

   Note: "cpuser" and "domain.tld" must be replaced with the cPanel username and the domain to change the upload location.

3. Add the following line to the file on a new line after the _is_present: 1 line.

   CONFIG_TEXT: php_admin_value_upload_tmp_dir: { name: 'php_admin_value[upload_tmp_dir]', value: "/path/to/new/upload/folder" }

   Note: "/path/to/new/upload/folder" must be replaced with the full path to the new upload folder.

4. Save the changes and exit the text editor.

5. Rebuild the PHP-FPM configuration.

   # /scripts/php_fpm_config --rebuild
