Migrate to EasyApache 4

[Bloke2]

I received a notice that the httpd.service was outdated. I tried to migrate from EasyApache 3 to 4. I got these messages.

Warning: EasyApache 4 does not support the requested Apache version, v2.2. The system will upgrade you to v2.4.
Warning: “Cpanel::Easy::PHP5::MailHeaders” ignored since it does not have an RPM.
Warning: “Cpanel::Easy::PHP5::MagicQuotes” ignored since it does not have an RPM.
Warning: “Cpanel::Easy::Apache::SlowRestartPatch” ignored since it does not have an RPM.
Warning: “Cpanel::Easy::Apache::Fileprotect” ignored since it does not have an RPM.
Warning: Current profile has the following MPMs: ea-apache24-mod_mpm_prefork
Warning: Adding the missing package, ea-apache24-mod_suexec, to the EasyApache 4 profile.

Then it asked to revert back to EasyApache 3.
What should I do before I try to migrate to EasyApache 4?

And now I updated version 3 I think. Even though it says version 2. Then I tried to migrate again to version 4 and it said successful. And a window opened automatically saying...

Running pre-flight check to determine if your server can safely migrate to EasyApache 4 …

And then I get the same messages above. I have both Version 3 and version 4 listed under software.

Hello,

You should be able to proceed past those warning messages. They exist to alert you of some of the changes in EasyApache 4. You can read more about those warning messages on the following thread:

Thank you.

I had to upgrade version 3 (confusing they were calling it 2) then from there went to 4. I still have EasyApache 3 listed under software. Will that remain or do I have to remove it?

This is answered on the following thread:

SOLVED - Remove EasyApache 3 option in WHM?

Thank you.

Thanks. I don't make many changes with SSH and not an expert. I have to be clear what this means. mv `/var/cpanel/caches/_generated_command_files' where does this move the files?

New Thanks. I don't make many changes with SSH and not an expert. I have to be clear what this means. mv `/var/cpanel/caches/_generated_command_files' where does this move the files?

Per that thread, you'd first need to move the "/usr/local/apache.ea3" directory. EX:

mv /usr/local/apache.ea3 /usr/local/apache.ea3.backup1

Then, run the following command to move the existing UI cache:

mv /var/cpanel/caches/_generated_command_files{,.backup}

Once you have confirmed that you no longer have any need to revert to EasyApache 3, you can remove the "/usr/local/apache.ea3.backup1" directory.

Thank you.

Can you run that command in the root directory or do I have to navigate to /usr/...?

Can you run that command in the root directory or do I have to navigate to /usr/...?

The commands include the full paths, so you can run them from any directory as long as you are logged in via SSH as the "root" user.

Thank you.

Thanks. I got logged in and was able to move it. Was able to navigate and see where things are. I haven't deleted the Easy Apache 3 yet. Can you tell me in simple terms what this part means? Is this what the cache is?
_generated_command_files{,.backup}

Hello,

mv /usr/local/apache.ea3 /usr/local/apache.ea3.backup1

The above command moves the EasyApache 3 data out of the way. It's what WHM uses to determine if it should display the EasyApache option.

mv /var/cpanel/caches/_generated_command_files{,.backup}

The above command will essentially clear the WHM UI cache to ensure WHM notices the the EA3 directory was moved. These files only contain cached WHM data, so it's nothing essential to your accounts.

Thank you.
