A significant change coming in early 2020 is the EasyApache 3 to EasyApache 4 autoconversion. When we last made a change in the Up Next initiative, we upgraded users on out of date and unsupported cPanel &amp; WHM version to Version 78. This upgrade did come with a caveat; those servers running EasyApache 3 faced an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/documentation.cpanel.net\/display\/CKB\/Upgrade+Blockers\">upgrade blocker<\/a>&nbsp;that prevented the change to 78 and instead upgraded to Version 76. The next step in Up Next is to resolve those blockers, which prevent a smooth transition to the LTS tier, Version 78.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the benefits of upgrading to EasyApache 4?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you weren&#8217;t already aware, EasyApache 3 reached&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cpanel.com\/the-beginning-is-the-end-is-the-beginning-of-easyapache\/\">End of Life<\/a>&nbsp;in December of 2018 and no longer receiving much-needed security updates. Additionally, EasyApache 4 offers&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cpanel.com\/5-reasons-you-want-to-be-using-easyapache-4\/\">quality of life improvements<\/a>, making it a far better choice than using EasyApache 3. Between the faster build times, automatic updates, and multiple PHP version support, upgrading to EasyApache 4 is the smart choice. Did you know that our EasyApache 4 RPMs are open source? They sure are! If you&#8217;re an advanced user that wants to customize those RPMs for your use,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/cpanelinc\">we provide them to you<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there any issues I can run into upgrading to EasyApache 4?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some risks in upgrading your EasyApache version; however, we want to help you mitigate those potential pitfalls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Servers that are using custom&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/documentation.cpanel.net\/display\/EA\/Custom%20Modules\">optmods<\/a>&nbsp;not provided by cPanel will no longer be able to do so, as EasyApache 4 does not support them.<ul><li>Those custom optmods won&#8217;t be migrated and need manual intervention to fix. <\/li><li>If you have custom optmods in EasyApache 3, you can generate custom EasyApache 4 RPMs following <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.cpanel.net\/resources\/building-custom-packages-for-easyapache-4.451\/\">this guide<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>If your server is blocked from upgrading for other reasons (i.e., lack of available disk space) will also not receive the upgrade and continue to remain blocked.<\/li><li>Tomcat 7 users will be migrated as-is, but are strongly encouraged to transition to our new system based on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/documentation.cpanel.net\/display\/EA4\/Tomcat\">Tomcat 8.5<\/a>. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do I need to do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The upgrade from EasyApache 3 to EasyApache 4&nbsp;is automatic and takes place in early 2020. However, to ensure your systems are prepared and set up to move seamlessly, we highly encourage users to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/documentation.cpanel.net\/display\/EA4\/The+EasyApache+3+to+EasyApache+4+Migration+Process\">migrate yourselves from EasyApache 3 to EasyApache 4<\/a>. The process is relatively painless and straightforward, and by taking advantage of this ahead of time, allows time to revert to EasyApache 3 to resolve any issues that pop up before the automatic upgrade. As always, the cPanel Team is available to assist you in migrating your servers from EasyApache 3 to EasyApache 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What else should I know?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions or want to discuss this upgrade process further, please reach out to us directly via our official&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/go.cpanel.net\/slack\">Slack<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/go.cpanel.net\/discord\">Discord<\/a>&nbsp;channels, our official&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/reddit.com\/r\/cpanel\">subreddit<\/a>, or the cPanel&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/forums.cpanel.net\/\">Forums<\/a>.
