Upgrading the system to AlmaLinux 8

[Number5NeedInput]

In layman's terms how can I fix the below errors to update to AlmaLinux 8 - I only use PHP 7.4 and PHP 8.1 - I also use LiteSpeed and Immunify360

This is what the report states:

The system detected the following issues which would prevent cPanel ELevate from upgrading the system to AlmaLinux 8:

One or more enabled YUM repo are currently unsupported. You should disable these repositories and remove packages installed from them before continuing the update. Consider reporting this limitation to Issues · cpanel/elevate

One or more EasyApache 4 package(s) are not compatible with AlmaLinux 8. Please remove these packages before continuing the update.

Have you removed all PHP versions except PHP7.4 and PHP8.1 in EasyApache?

 

[Number5NeedInput]

Yes, all other versions were removed from EasyApache, except for the 2 stated. Hardened PHP also removed from Immunify360.

I'd try disabling the Remi repositories and go from there, since those aren't provided by the OS or cPanel.

Ok, I had an older update checker script apparently ver.1 when it should be vers. 4. After updating that then running the checker again I ended up with:

-------------------------------------------

before continuing the update.

After disabling the above repos and re-running the script I ended up with:

Which looks OK to update - unless anyone knows of any nasties to watch out for?

Thanks for the help.

Looks like you're good to go! Remember, ELevate is still in experimental mode, so have a Plan B just in case.
