PHP INI files created for new accounts and domains after cPanel 136 update

Symptoms

After updating to cPanel 136, PHP INI files that set the default error_log path are created in the document root for new domains and accounts.

Cause

This was an intended change in cPanel 136 for consistency so that all PHP Handlers now use the same PHP error_log path.

136 Change Log

• Fixed CPANEL-48069: Automatically configure PHP error logging to ~/logs/php.error.log for all newly created domains.

Resolution

There is no method to disable this feature at this time.

Case CPANEL-53944 has been filed to add an optional method for users to disable this feature.
