Hi,
So far, while I had CGI handler, PHP error logs resided in the same directory as the PHP file that created the error.
With PHP-FPM the default error log location is at: /home/username/logs/domain_tld.php.error.log

Is there a way to switch error log location so it will show in same directory where .php file which triggered error resides ?
So if file /home/username/public_html/tests/test.php triggered error I would like error log to be in /home/username/public_html/tests/
If a file in /home/username/public_html/school/questions/math.php triggers an error I would like error log to be placed in /home/username/public_html/school/questions/
Also I would like this to be enabled on all accounts with PHP-FPM enabled.

I am new at this so please explain it step-by-step.

Thanks !

Hey there! Could you try the workaround mentioned here and see if that gets you what you need?

OK, I've changed /var/cpanel/ApachePHPFPM/system_pool_defaults.yaml so it looks:

---
php_admin_flag_allow_url_fopen: 'on'
php_admin_flag_log_errors: 'on'
php_admin_value_disable_functions: exec,passthru,shell_exec,system
php_admin_value_doc_root: "\"[% documentroot %]/\""
php_admin_value_error_log: "[% documentroot %]/error.log"
php_admin_value_short_open_tag: 'on'
php_value_error_reporting: E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
pm_max_children: 500
pm_max_requests: 2000
pm_process_idle_timeout: 150

I've restarted both Apache and PHP-FPM service for Apache and nothing changed ?

As far as I understand it what you have isn't formatted correctly. This doesn't appear at all as it's noted in the documentation. This should be:

Code:
php_admin_value_error_log: { name: 'php_value[error_log]', value:  "[% homedir %]/logs/[% domain_tld %].php.error.log]" }
you can omit logs/ if you just want the data to go into the homedirectory of the user or if you do really want the logs to go into the document root it would be:

Code:
php_admin_value_error_log: {name: 'php_value[error_log]', value: "[% documentroot %].php.error.log]"}
and any double quotes must be escaped as noted in the "important" section at the top:


Important:
To avoid directive configuration errors, you must follow these syntax rules:
  • You must use single quotation marks ' ' at the beginning and end of strings with double quotation marks " ". The YAML parser automatically removes quotation marks from string values. This means that values that require double quotation marks must use single quotation marks before and after the double quotation marks to retain their value.
  • You must use an escape character \ with any double quotation marks " " that you use inside of the string.

You can also use the config script to check your work and rebuild the configuration The php_fpm_config Script | cPanel & WHM Documentation
