Move error_log from /public_html

[Astral God]

Hello.

I'm setting up a VPS with WHM. I've set up a domain for testing purposes, and my error_log file is published under /public_html.

How can i move this for this domain and for all future domains to another location ?
I've found some threads on the forum about this but nobody explains how to proceed...
I would like to have this file under /home/user, not /home/user/public_html.

I think it should be changed on "PHP Configuration Editor" in Advanced mode, but what should i insert to configure it as i want ?

Thanks.

Hey,

This can be done by editing the error_log parameter in your php.ini file to define the file where you want to log the PHP errors to. For example:

error_log = /home/username/error_log

Thanks for the reply.
but if a specify a /username/, all error_logs will be stored under the SAME username, no?

What i want is configure this ONE TIME and all current and future accounts will have this file under their own /username/.

In order to do that you would need to use a custom php.ini for each account this can be done by copying the default php.ini from /usr/local/lib/php.ini to /home/$user/php.ini

you would then need to setup the account to use that php configuration file instead of the default which can be done by adding the following to your .htaccess file for each account:

<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/user/public_html
</IfModule>

Hello,

If you need to automate this process, just use postwwacct cPanel hook script.

cPanel & WHM Script Hooks

It will make the life easier and it is a one time process, which can be replicated to another server so easily.

Thank you,
