[Hamodi]

Hello evrybody!
Wanna remove cpanel from my root server, can u explain me how to do it?

There is only one way. Reinstall the O/S.

Other method plz... I have many Customers on my Server and they have too much Databases on MySql. It would taken a long time to backup all the Webs and the databases!

Help plz!!!

There isn't really any other method. When cpanel is installed, it makes modifications to some of the basic system programs. A good server admin who really knows cpanel may be able to remove it for you, but it would not be a complete job.

The best option is to get another server without cpanel and transfer the accounts over.

thx all!!! but i'll try to
1. delete the directory and contents of /usr/local/cpanel & /scripts
2. remove all the cPanel startup scripts
3. kill any cPanel related processes
4. reconfigure remaining applications which i want to continue to use such as Apache, BIND etc .

Wish me Luck Boys

If i were you, i'd first secure a complete drive image before proceeding that way

Do let us know if you do that job successfully

All the best.
