http://your_server_ip:2087

https://your_server_hostname:2087

• From the menu on the left side, navigate to Software then click on MultiPHP Manager. You can also make use of the WHM Search box to search for the option.

• The resulting MultiPHP Manager window will have two parts; System Settings and User Domain Settings
• Under System Settings, you will see PHP Version option, displaying the current System Default PHP Version

• Click the dropdown menu besides PHP Version and select the PHP version that you want to set as System Default.
• That will set it to system default and new accounts being created on the server will automatically have that version set.
