How do I change the system default PHP version in WHM?

Answer

The system default PHP version can be changed in the MultiPHP Manager in WHM. This setting determines the PHP version assigned to any new account you create. Changing this setting will only affect new accounts and accounts set to use the "Inherit" option.

1. Log in to WHM as the root user.
2. Navigate to WHM / Software / MultiPHP Manager.
3. On the System Settings tab, click the dropdown in the PHP Version box.
4. Select the desired version of PHP.
5. Your changes are saved automatically.
