Convert cPanel server

It is easy to switch cPanel server from CentOS 5.x or 6.x to CloudLinux. The process takes a few minutes and replaces just a handful of RPMs.

  • Get <activation_key> either by getting trial subscription or by purchasing subscription
  • Download script: cpanel2cl
  • Execute sh cpanel2cl -k <activation_key>
    * Important: If you bought CloudLinux license directly from cPanel, you don't need activation key. Just run sh cpane2cl -k
  • Reboot
    # wget http://repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/sources/cln/cpanel2cl 
    # sh cpanel2cl -k <activation_key> 
    # reboot
    # /scripts/easyapache --build
    Once you have rebooted, you are running CloudLinux kernel with LVE enabled.
