End of Life for EasyApache 3

  • 9 April 2019

The CloudLinux team has officially announced the End of Life for EasyApache 3 on all their services. Support for EasyApache 3 was stopped on December 31, 2018, with cPanel & WHM version 76 being the final version to support version 3 of the Apache service.

CloudLinux plans to remove EasyApache 3 support from all products on September 1st, 2019, therefore, it is strongly recommended to upgrade your cPanel & WHM to EasyApache 4. If your system is still using EasyApache 3, please make sure to upgrade your servers as soon as possible as an end-of-life product is an unsecured one. (For example, EasyApache 3 is still vulnerable to CVE-2019-0211.)

The CloudLinux team has created its own migration script for clients who are using cPanel & WHM with CloudLinux. This script upgrades your system from EasyApache 3 to EasyApache 4, with the option to install additional Apache modules (mod_lsapi, alt-php, and alt_mod_passenger) provided by CloudLinux software.

In order to update your system to EasyApache 4, please follow these steps.

  1. Download the CloudLinux migration script
    # cd ~; wget https://repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/sources/cloudlinux_ea3_to_ea4
  2. Perform the migration. Choose only one of the following 3 options.
    1. Install EasyApache 4:
      # sh cloudlinux_ea3_to_ea4 --convert
    2. Install EasyApache 4 with mod_lsapi and alt-php:
      # sh cloudlinux_ea3_to_ea4 --convert --mod_lsapi --altphp
    3. Install EasyApache 4 with mod_lsapi, alt-php and alt_mod_passenger:
      # sh cloudlinux_ea3_to_ea4 --convert --mod_lsapi --altphp --mod_passenger
