Easy update from EasyApache3 to EasyApache4!

You would have done the installation of cPanel! Along with the installation of cPanel, you have the advantage of using EasyApache. The feature of EasyApache includes more benefits like updating components of servers such as Apache modules and PHP versions, configures and installs automatically. cPanel has a recent activity of EasyApache 3 deprecation which leaves a pathway to get along with EasyApache3. For updating the new release, first, you need to move from EasyApache3 to EasyApache 4.

Let us use WHM (Web host manager) and CLI (Command Line Interface) for updating EasyApache3 to EasyApache 4.

Here’s a big note before you start the process of migrating EasyApache3 to EasyApache4:

  1. It is necessary to get root access from a dedicated server or VPS.
  2. If you use CentOS 5 then please note that EasyApache 4 won’t be flexible to work. You must raise a server move request towards the team of technical support.
What are the precautions before updating EasyApache3 to EasyApache 4:

  • Stop using the tool called “PHP Switcher” and then move into the version of PHP customization -
Code:
yum -y remove imh-php52 imh-php53 imh-php54 imh-php55 imh-php56 imh-php70 imh-php71 cpanel-phpconf
  • Go to .htaccess file to comment the tool “PHP Switcher AddHandler lines” -
Code:
for a in $(for i in $(\ls /var/cpanel/users | grep -v system); do find /home/$i -name .htaccess; done); do sed -i /AddHandler/s/^/#/ $a; done
  • Search for the file php.in in cPanel for backing up it and also don’t forget to disable it -
Code:
for a in $(for i in $(\ls /var/cpanel/users | grep -v system); do find /home/$i -name php.ini; done); do mv $a $a-bk; done
  • Again, go to .htaccess file for commenting suphp_configpath lines -
Code:
for i in $(find /home/*/ -name .htaccess); do sed -i /[Ss][Uu][Pp][Hh][Pp]/s/^/#/ $i && echo $i; done
