While we have performed extensive testing on most of cPanel &amp; WHM&#8217;s broad range of features, there are still a few kinks to work out. A Technology Preview allows our customers to try this new compatibility out\u00a0<em>now<\/em>, in order to help us be certain of a seamless CentOS 7 integration.\u00a0We strongly recommend that you test your preferred configurations on CentOS 7\u00a0<strong>thoroughly<\/strong> before you use cPanel &amp; WHM with CentOS 7 on production servers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Changes for CentOS 7<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While we continue to make every effort to ensure that cPanel &amp; WHM on CentOS 7 maintains the same functionality, some changes were unavoidable:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Installation and system requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>New installations on CentOS 7 servers will require at least 1 GB of RAM, though we recommend at least 2GB of RAM for heavily-populated servers.<\/li>\n<li>CentOS 7 installations should use the XFS\u00ae\u00a0or\u00a0ext4 filesystems.<\/li>\n<li>Due to changes in data storage, the system may report different total data sizes for migrations or backup restorations between CentOS 5 or 6 and CentOS 7.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Systemd support<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While our previously-supported operating systems used the\u00a0init.d system, CentOS 7 uses the\u00a0systemd system to manage services. Because of this, we updated our product to ensure compatibility with <strong>both<\/strong> systems, including all of cPanel &amp; WHM&#8217;s\u00a0\/usr\/local\/cpanel\/scripts\/restartsrv_* scripts.<\/p>\n<p>We\u00a0<strong>strongly<\/strong> recommend that you use these scripts in your cron jobs and custom scripts, even if you don&#8217;t use CentOS 7 yet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>cPanel-provided RPMs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have rebuilt all of the cPanel-provided RPMs to be CentOS 7 compatible. However, if you use additional RPMs or custom modules, check to ensure that their dependencies have not changed.<\/p>\n<p>For up-to-date information about the status of our CentOS 7 implementation, read our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/documentation.cpanel.net\/display\/CKB\/CentOS+7+Implementation+Status\">CentOS 7 Implementation Status<\/a>\u00a0documentation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TL;DR?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CentOS 7 compatibility will arrive as a Technology Preview in cPanel &amp; WHM version 11.50, and will be available with full support in version 11.52.<\/p>\n<p>You can read more about CentOS 7 on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centos.org\/\">CentOS Project website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone wants the newest things, and cPanel has heard you!
