Question
PHP Files not working on cPanel and WHM DigitalOcean Application
I’ve successfully imported my website into the applications file servers and the HTML pages load fine but when I try and use php files it keeps returning a 404 file not found even though it is there.
I have checked the terminal and wrote php -v to see it is php 8 so it is there but for some reason it doesn’t load on the server and I am really confused to why?
https://64.227.36.12/hello.php is the location and I just created a simple hello world php file which does not want to work.
Can someone help me figure out why as I am racking my head against the wall with this. Thank you

Hello @hasnaatk
With cPanel/WHM you will usually add a domain name via WHM and then upload files under the domain name’s root directory which will be the public_html folder.
You can add a domain name via WHM and the upload the file either via the File Manager or via ssh-client or SFTP-client and the access the file using the domain name.
If you do not have a domain name you can try using the cPanel preview link option, you can find more information here:
