New Server - Permission Issues and Missing error_log

I switched to a new larger server and now am getting permission issues and no error_log being outputted.
Tested 2 simple php functions that worked with no issues in the last server.
I show below what was done to "fix" the issues, however, it is not a global fix. I will have to do this for every domain on the server.
Are there settings I need to change that I am missing that would make the permissions issues go away globally?
What do I need to do to produce the error_log?

Function 1 returns this:

Warning: fopen(/home/username/public_html/test.png): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/username/public_html/test.php on line 13
Warning: fputs() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/username/public_html/test.php on line 14
Warning: fclose() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/username/public_html/test.php on line 15

Fix the issues with this command line:

chmod go+w /home/username/public_html/test.png

Function 2 returns this:

Warning: mkdir(): Permission denied in /home/username/public_html/test.php on line 25
Warning: file_put_contents(test.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/username/public_html/test.php on line 48
Warning: file_put_contents(test.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/username/public_html/test.php on line 51

Fixed the issue with this command line:

chmod g+w public_html/

Hello,

Do you know if a different PHP handler was enabled on the previous server? You can configure the default PHP handler for each version of PHP using the "PHP Handlers" tab in "WHM >> MultiPHP Manager". We document the permission and ownership requirements for each PHP handler at:

PHP Handlers - EasyApache 4 - cPanel Documentation

Thank you.

Where would I go in the old server Apache 3 to see what PHP handlers were enabled?

Thanks

This is found in "WHM >> Configure PHP and suEXEC" on systems using EasyApache 3:

Configure PHP and suEXEC - Version 66 Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Thank you.

Michael -

I appreciate the response back. That information was not on the server after I upgraded it to 4.

Currently needed to give permissions at public_html level for every domain by command line.

Thanks,

Hello,

It's possible this relates to the "Enable File Protect" option under the "Security" tab in "WHM >> Tweak Settings". You can disable this option if you prefer, however we suggest leaving it enabled for the added security.

Thank you.

I appreciate the pointer... will take a look at that setting.
