This server is very old but runs Centos6, php 5.6.39, mysql 5.6, etc.

Assuming, it's safe to ignore all the php4 messages, why are those even listed? Not sure tbh...

I have php-fpm service for cpanel daemons disabled in service manager. Does this enable the old cpphp? Think I'm still using that... should I enable the php-fpm service for cpanel daemons?

I'm using the bluehost symlinkprotection patch...on a VPS, don't control the kernel, any other possibility for marginal symlink protection outside of cloudlinux, kernelcare, or moving hosting providers?

What about these?
cpphpopts?
systimezone?
expat?
safephpcgi?
access?

Fileprotect is already enabled in tweak settings so think that is covered.

Thank you.

Hello @Venomous21,

Those are non-fatal errors, and are displayed to note a difference in the EA4 profile compared to the EA3 profile. You can read more about these warning messages on the following threads:

EA3 to EA4 warnings, should I worry?
SOLVED - Migrate EA3 to EA4 issues

I have php-fpm service for cpanel daemons disabled in service manager. Does this enable the old cpphp? Think I'm still using that... should I enable the php-fpm service for cpanel daemons?

This is unrelated to the EA4 conversion options. The PHP-FPM service for cPanel Daemons is an option that applies to the internal cPanel PHP installation as opposed to the PHP installations enabled through EasyApache 4.

I'm using the bluehost symlinkprotection patch...on a VPS, don't control the kernel, any other possibility for marginal symlink protection outside of cloudlinux, kernelcare, or moving hosting providers?

We document the symlink race protection options with information about how to make use of the BlueHost patch in EA4 at:

Symlink Race Condition Protection - EasyApache 4 - cPanel Documentation

The free KernelCare patch set is generally the best approach, if you can get your VPS hosting provider to implement it at the VPS node level:

KernelCare patch sets

Thank you.
