    After convertting one server from EA4 to EA4 I notice our monitoring shows the server having an error 403 Forbidden

    I checked and see the Document root of the servername in httpd.conf file is now /var/www/html

    If I edit and change it to /usr/local/apache/htdocs

    It then starts working fine and redirects to /cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi correctly but then auto changes somehow few minutes later back to /var/www/html


    Note I tried rerunning Easy Apache and also tried:
    /scripts/upcp --force
    and
    /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf

    Note sure what else to do

    Any reason why?

    Hi,

    EA4's default documentroot is /var/www/html. You'll need to put any files in that directory. If you change it, it'll be changed back every time httpd.conf is rebuilt.

    I hope this helps!
