List of applications cPanel controls

cPanel uses the exim MTA, which we distribute. We also distribute RPMs for:

Courier-imap
Courier-pop3
Pure-ftpd
Proftpd


You can use various versions of PHP: 4.x, 5.x You can compile your own manually or use the easyapache stuff to do it for you. A few things are disabled (excluded) via yum.conf, mainly stuff that conflicts with RPMs we distribute (as noted above). Otherwise you can install nigh anythign via yum. Firewalling we don't do (yet). We provide chrooted environments for SSH using the jailshell functionality.

 

I'm sorry that's happening. To clarify, do you mean:

Code:

shell$ php -v

shows the wrong, older version, or is it what the users see in cPanel?

With the latter issue it's merely a matter of stale cache files. Non-EDGE builds keep the cache files in /home/$user/.cpanel-datastore Look for a PHP related one and delete it. You can also enable a tweak setting that prevents the use of these cache files, but you might(probably) notice a higher load on your server since tha tinfo will be queried on every cPanel login.

If it is the former issue, find every php binary on your system. It's possible an older one is simply higher in path precendence than what easyapache installs. With the Apache module, make certain the file is actually being replaced (make backup, remove file, build via easyapache, see if new one is in place).

If none of the above works, let me know, along with the particular version of cPanel you are using.
