How to update the PHP-FPM document root for the primary domain

Introduction

Following a change to the document root for the primary domain on a cPanel account, the website is now showing the error "No input file specified."

The domain is configured to use PHP-FPM.

After changing the document root for a domain that is using PHP-FPM, you must also update the PHP-FPM configuration to use the updated document root.

Find the PHP-FPM configuration for the domain at the following location for the domain in question:

/var/cpanel/userdata/USER/DOMAIN.php-fpm.yaml

Replace USER with the cPanel username, and DOMAIN with the domain name.

Modify this file using your text editor of choice (vi, nano, etc) and add the following line:

php_admin_value_doc_root: { name: 'php_admin_value[doc_root]', value: /home/USER/NEW/DOCUMENT/ROOT }

Once completed, the PHP-FPM configuration will need to be rebuilt and PHP-FPM restarted.

/scripts/php_fpm_config --rebuild
/scripts/restartsrv_apache_php_fpm
