EasyApache questions(before I break something)

Hi there everyone,

Well, 25 sites into my server migration, I finally realized that I am missing CURL

I found via the forum the method you would use to rebuild Apache with CURL, but before I did that I wanted to ask a couple questions, if I could:

1) Should I be using EasyApache to do this or is another method better for a stock new cPanel install?

2) Will I lose all of my PHP changes, additions and settings? (I had the configserver package installed, a large portion of which had to do with PHP hardening and additional modules added)

Any thoughts and suggestions would be very welcome.

thanks,
