cPanel’s Built-in php.ini File

WHERE IS THE CPanel PHP.INI?

If you're using cPanel and need to tweak your PHP settings, you might be looking for the php.ini file. This file controls how PHP behaves on your server. For cPanel's default PHP installation, you can find the main php.ini file at this location:

/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/php.ini

Understanding this location is key for anyone needing to make direct changes to global PHP configurations within a cPanel environment.

REBUILDING CPANEL'S INTERNAL PHP

Sometimes, you might need to rebuild or refresh cPanel's internal PHP installation. This can be useful for troubleshooting or applying certain updates. You can do this using a specific script provided by cPanel:

/scripts/makecppphp

Running this script will recompile or reconfigure the PHP environment that cPanel itself uses, which can resolve various issues related to its internal functions.
