SOLVED Changing root document

[necsa]

Hi There,
I'm using magento 2 installed on apache 2.4. However I'm trying to change root path to /pub instead of /public_html.
I've seen many topics but it doesn't work with me !
When I try to change the root my website entirely down!! and I received the following error :
no input file specified.

Could you please advise what I have to do.

Hey there! You'd likely need to change the document root for the cPanel account itself. Details on how to change this in cPanel can be found here:

How to change the document root for a cPanel account

Introduction While there are tools in cPanel that will allow you to change the document root for an addon domain, making this change for the main cPanel account is a bit more involved and requires ...

support.cpanel.net

What you don't want to do is follow the common guide like this one:

Magento 2 Root Directory Modify | Magento 2 Root Folder

If you would like to know how to modify the Magento 2 root directory, then read our guide and find out

amasty.com

as cPanel handles the Apache configuration completely differently, and those types of changes will not work.

Can you try editing the cPanel document root to see if that gets things working how you expect?

Hi,
Unfortunately it doesn't work, same error appear.

Just as a test, can you create a file named testpage.html in your document root and see if you can visit that in a browser without an error?

Yes it's work !! what's the problem.. is it related to Magento ?

Thanks for that information - the issue would either be related to PHP or Magento. Do you see any errors in the main Apache log when you get the "no input file specified" error?

Where I can found this log file ?

Do you have root access to the server? If so, this is located at /etc/apache2/logs/error_log
