Subdomain not inheriting PHP version of the main domain | Litespeed issue on cPanel
As you know, in cPanel Multi PHP Manager platform, it does support the ‘inherit’ method between the addon domains/subdomains and its main/primary domain.

cPanel domlogs/Webserver Access logs are showing only local server IP addresses

This behavior is because the reverse proxy or load balancer acts as client to Apache and the Apache sees the internal IP address on its website access log. […]
