As of December 31st, 2018, the cPanel team has officially placed EasyApache 3 in End of Life, meaning that it will become deprecated and no longer receive any updates. Support for EasyApache 3 will be removed in cPanel & WHM version 78 in order for them to transition to EasyApache4. For more information about the End of Life announcement, please read the official cPanel blog.

It is strongly recommended to upgrade your cPanel & WHM to EasyApache 4. Please make sure to upgrade your system if it still uses EasyApache 3 as a product in End-of-life is not secure.

For all those who use cPanel & WHM with CloudLinux, the CloudLinux team has created its own migration script to simplify the transition. This script performs the migration from EasyApache 3 to EasyApache 4, with the option to install additional Apache modules (mod_lsapi, alt-php, and alt_mod_passenger) provided only by CloudLinux.

To transition to the new EasyApache version on CloudLinux systems, follow these steps.

1. Download our migration script:

   cd ~; wget https://repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/sources/cloudlinux_ea3_to_ea4

   2. Install EasyApache 4 with mod_lsapi, alt-php and alt_mod_passenger:
