Usually, a 503 Service Unavailable message is caused by the limited server’s capacity to serve requests. Anyway, there is a case when this error is caused by a misconfiguration in the site’s .htaccess file.
You can use the cat command to check the cPanel PHP code from the .htaccess file:
# cat .htaccess
# php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# Set the “ea-php72” package as the default “PHP” programming language.
<IfModule mime_module>
AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php72___lsphp .php .php7 .phtml
</IfModule>
# php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
Now check if the PHP version from the .htaccess file is really installed on the server:
root@web [/]# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf --current
DEFAULT PHP: ea-php73
ea-php70 SAPI: lsapi
ea-php73 SAPI: lsapi
ea-php74 SAPI: lsapi
As you can see PHP 7.2 is not installed on the server. Obviously, you have two options. The first one is to switch the site to an available PHP version. The other one is to install another PHP version via cPanel EasyApache.
