SOLVED EasyApache 4 migration - Experimental Repo Required

[mojiba2]

I'm trying to migrate to easyapache 4, without success.

Following the EasyApache 4 Migration Tool link I get this screen:

Pre-flight check result.
cPanel Migration Blocker (Cpanel)
cPanel evaluates known issues such as network connectivity.

This action will disable EasyApache 3 and enable EasyApache 4 on this server.

After pushing the "Migrate" button:

Confirm Your Action
Run EasyApache 4 Migration?
Confirm that you wish for the system to disable EasyApache 3 and enable EasyApache 4.

Clicking "Yes, run EasyApache 4 Migration." I got:

You must have the EA4 Experimental YUM repository installed and enabled for: ea-apache24-mod_fcgid
You can find out about that at The Experimental Repository - EasyApache 4 - cPanel Documentation

Then, when I press "Done" the process starts again. I did it three times, what I'm missing here?

Thanks.

Hello @mojiba2,

You'll need to install the EasyApache 4 experimental repo prior to upgrading to EA4 if you'd like to continue using mod_fcgid on the system. You can install the experiential repo using the following command:

yum install ea4-experimental

Then, attempt to convert to EA4 again and let us know the result.

Thank you.

Hi Michael,

I really don't need mod_fcgid, I'm using it as an old solution to get better performance on a vbulletin 4 installation.

Do you advise to install the experimental repo, or change the EasyApache 3 profile to a non fcgid option and then upgrade to EasyApache 4?

If so, do you know which profile would be best for vbulletin 4?

Thank you.

Hello @mojiba2,

I recommend installing the EA4 experiential repo and proceeding the EA4 conversion. Once you've upgraded to EA4, you can then browse to WHM >> EasyApache 4 and WHM >> MultiPHP Manager to configure the PHP handlers you prefer to use (if FCGId is no longer your preference).

I don't have a specific profile recommendation for Vbulletin, but you check out our Optimization category to see a list of threads where optimization/resource usage is discussed:

Workarounds and Optimization

Thank you.

Hi Michael,
