The rebuild_phpconf Script Print this Article
Overview:
The /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf script manages your server’s default PHP version and PHP handlers in EasyApache 4. You can use this script to set your system default PHP version or change the PHP handler for a PHP version. You can also make these changes in WHM’s MultiPHP Manager interface (WHM >> Home >> Software >> MultiPHP Manager).
Run the script
To use the /bin/rebuild_phpconf script, run the following script:
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf [arguments]When you run the /bin/rebuild_phpconf script, the system writes to the /etc/cpanel/ea4/php.conf file. The system backs up any changes made to this file to the /etc/cpanel/ea4/php.conf.bak/TIME.PID file, where TIME represents the time the system made the change and PID represents the process PID. The system only keeps the 20 most recent php.conf file changes.
