If there are blockers or reasons that you are hesitating to upgrade, <a href=\"mailto:benny@cpanel.net\">please let me know!<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>====================<\/p>\n<p>In July of this year we <a style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.cpanel.com\/easyapache-3-deprecation-schedules\/\">announced our goals for deprecating EasyApache 3<\/a> and migrating everyone over to EasyApache 4. With the release of cPanel &amp; WHM version 58 we saw record adoption numbers of EasyApache 4 and have seen loads of success for our users in EasyApache 4 environments. However, along with that success have seen a lot of requests for more time to migrate existing servers to EasyApache 4, and we have seen a few really good requests for EasyApache 4 that are preventing <span class=\"inline-comment-marker\" data-ref=\"a2eab1b6-5c5b-44cd-88a6-d8c1ed2cc404\">some<\/span> clients from switching. For those reasons, and to reduce the pressure on our EasyApache development team, we have decided to adjust the deprecation schedule for EasyApache 3.<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"inline-comment-marker\" data-ref=\"6340ba77-399f-4799-8f74-137735a48412\">New Deprecation Schedule<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span class=\"inline-comment-marker\" data-ref=\"96231845-8f24-43e7-bb19-4895f01d239e\">We are now extending EasyApache 3 support through cPanel &amp; WHM version 62. The updated deprecation schedule will look like this:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>v58 &#8211; EasyApache 4 is the default on new cPanel &amp; WHM installations<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>With the release of cPanel &amp; WHM version 58, EasyApache 4 will be the default web stack on fresh installations. EasyApache 4 offers full parity with EasyApache 3, with improved install and configuration times. You\u2019ll still be able to use EasyApache 3 if you prefer, with a bit of extra configuration first.\u00a0To use EasyApache 3 instead of EasyApache 4 at install time, issue this command before installing cPanel:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><code>touch \/etc\/install_legacy_ea3_instead_of_ea4<\/code><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>v62 &#8211; Support for EasyApache 3 is Deprecated<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The last version of cPanel &amp; WHM to support EasyApache 3 will be version <span class=\"inline-comment-marker\" data-ref=\"3ccb5d97-b656-4e9a-9145-c382a287647b\">62<\/span>, currently planned for January 2017. Once version 62 goes End of Life (Currently expected in January of 2018), EasyApache 3 will receive no further updates, and will be fully deprecated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>v64 &#8211; Support for\u00a0EasyApache 3 is Removed<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>If you have not yet converted EasyApache 4, you will be prevented from upgrading to version 64.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>Where to get more information<\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"color: #555555;\">Even with the updated deprecation schedule, EasyApache 4 won\u2019t be supported on CentOS 5.
