HOW TO COMPLETELY UNINSTALL CLOUNDLINUX FROM CPANEL SERVER?

The kernel level technology is CloudLinux which is one of the great operating system. This technology is designed in such a way that is used for sharing the host environment. The use of this website is that the single site can be prevented. This site uses the resources and it makes the whole server unresponsive or crashes it. The cloudlinux can be easily uninstalled. For this we have to convert the system to CentOS even if the software installed is RHEL. Inorder to install CentOS the following has to be done

1. The package related to LVE has to be removed.

2. Then cloudlinux repositories and the yum plugin has to be dispatched.

3. Finally the CentOS have to be installed.

After the following the above steps the script shown will provide instructions. Using the instruction we can finish the conversion process. So this will uninstall the CloudLinux kernel and install the CentOS kernel.

REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATION OF CLOUDLINUX:

The installation of CloudLinux is easy and there are some requirements that has to required by the cPanel server they are:

It has to be enabled with mod_suexec

MPM Prefork, Worker or Event must be configured with Apache

Install wget and yum

THE BELOW STEPS HAS TO BE FOLLOWED INORDER TO COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION:

Code:

wget http://repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/sources/cln/cpanel2cl

Code:

sh cpanel2cl -k <activation_key>

Code:

reboot

Code:

/scripts/easyapache –build

Code:

yum install cpanel-lve –y

Code:

yum install cpanel-lvemanager –y

Code:

yum install lve-cpanel-plugin –y

THE INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION OF MOD_HOSTINGLIMITS IF IT IS NOT LOADED WITH THE DEFAUT INSTALLATION:

Code:

cd /usr/local/src

Code:

wget http://repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/sources/mod_hostinglimits.tar.gz

Code:

tar -zxvf mod_hostinglimits.tar.gz

Code:

cd mod_hostinglimits

Code:

cmake CMakeLists.txt

Code:

TO UPDATE THE CENTOS-PROVIDED RPMs FOLLOW THE COMMAND BELOW:

Code:

yum update –y

TO REBUILD THE APACHE

Code:

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/easyapache –build

Or

/scripts/easyapache –build

THE NON-CLOUDLINUX KERNEL CAN BE REINSTALLED USING:
