"You are running an insecure apache setup"

[golloween]

I upgraded to CPanel 6.0 and it says:

"You are running an insecure apache setup. You should run /scripts/easyapache and upgrade to a newer version as soon as possible to avoid your system being compromised."

Sorry for a newbie question, but I simply don't know how to run a script. I suppose, I should log into my box via SSH as a root user (or gain root access via the SU command), and then type something in the command line.

Could you please help me?

I ran it will all my servers and I wasn't too sure about SSH myself. But this forum helps you out a LOT. I also chose option 4 as it installs mcrypt and GD support. It was quick and easy. However if you are using any form of Zend above 1.3 then you will have to reinstall it as well.
Do worry...... just log in as root via SSH and enter the exact line as shown in your WHM...... it is a breeze.

Johnnie, thanks for the reply, but the root login on my box was disabled for security purposes. To gain root access, I have to add a user to the wheel group and then use the 'su' command.

The problem is that the "su root" command won't accept my root password.

I would demand root access if it is your box. Are you sharing a server with someone?

When I ordered the box, they suggested me to disable the root access for security purposes, and I agreed. That's ok with me, I just want to figure out a correct way to use the "su root" command.

add the user to the wheel group
and then try typing just "su" (without the root at the end)
maybe thats the problem, enter the root password; then just run the script
