How to Enable or Disable Apache Modules or PHP Modules Using EasyApache

You can use the Apache updater (called “EasyApache”) to enable Apache or PHP modules, such as cURL.

EasyApache is a powerful script that allows you to customize your profile by enabling or disabling Apache and PHP modules.

Please note that during this process cPanel will rebuild Apache and PHP with the options you select/deselect. This is necessary while you upgrade Apache/PHP version or enable/disable modules of PHP and Apache. To perform these steps you would require root access on your VPS or dedicated server.

 

  1. Login to WHM as root user.
  2. Under Software section, click EasyApache option. At next screen, you would see the current Apache configuration (current profile) under Previously Saved Config. Hover the mouse over gear icon Customize Profile located under Action column.

  • Apache Version == At this stage, EasyApache build process allows you to select Apache version you want to use in your profile. If you just want to enable or disable modules then you should leave this option as default and click on Next Step button.

Go through the Short Options List and enable the modules you wish to add. You can also disable the unwanted modules by deselecting them. Make sure that you just enable only what you need since installing too many modules can cause server performance issues.
