cPanel provides an intuitive tool called EasyApache to manage installed packages on your server. In this article, we will walk you through the process of updating packages using WHM (Web Host Manager).
Accessing EasyApache via WHM
- Log in to your WHM Panel: Use the root user to access your WHM Panel at https://server-ip:2087/.
- Navigate to EasyApache: In the top-left navigation panel, type "EasyApache" in the search box or go to the 'Software' category and select 'EasyApache'. This will take you to the EasyApache interface, where you can manage your server's packages.
Customizing Your Profile
Upon accessing EasyApache, you will be presented with a list of prebuilt profiles designed for specific packages. You can:
- Select a profile: Choose a profile that suits your needs, and EasyApache will install the required packages.
- Install software manually: Go to 'Currently Installed Packages' and select 'Customize' to view a list of all available packages. From here, you can install the software you require without creating a profile.
Reviewing and Provisioning Changes
Once you have made your selections:
- Review changes: Go to the 'Review' area to review the changes you will be making. This page will show you all the packages that will be changed.
- Provision changes: Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "Provision" to apply the changes. After double-checking the information, confirm that you want to proceed with the updates.
By following these steps, you can easily update packages in cPanel using EasyApache via WHM. This guide provides a straightforward approach to managing your server's packages and ensures that your system remains up-to-date and secure.
