Advanced Apache Configuration - The paths.conf File
Last modified: September 20, 2024
Overview
To improve future compatibility within the cPanel & WHM codebase, we eliminated the use of hardcoded Apache file and directory paths.
Warning:
We strongly recommend that you do not change Apache configuration file locations. EasyApache 4 controls the /etc/cpanel/ea4/paths.conf file with the ea-apache24-config-runtime package, and you can only change these values if you create a custom webstack.
Default file paths
By default, EasyApache 4 sets the following file paths:

dir_domlogs |
/etc/apache2/logs/domlogs |
