In this article, I will explain a website failed to load after migrating to the new cPanel (11.82.0.17 ) from 11.76.0.20. The website was backed up with “/scripts/pkgacct” script but when it restored to the new WHM/cPanel it failed. Upon checking the apache error_log found the following errors.
Error:

Resolution:
In order to fix this issue we need to restart the improved PHP handler ( ea-php72-php-fpm.service )
# systemctl restart ea-php72-php-fpm.service
From the log file you will get the service name (/opt/cpanel/ea-php72/root).
It fixed the issue
