EasyApache

The EasyApache tools that are provided with cPanel provide an intuitive, safe, and easy to use system for configuration of Apache via both WebHostManager and via command line scripts. In a matter of minutes Apache can be reconfigured to the exact specification without the need to understand complex flags, examine missing dependencies, and develop a "roll back" plan if the process fails.

EasyApache is an exclusive cPanel tool that coverts a complex Apache configuration process into a point, click, and compile procedure.

For more information on using EasyApache, including modifying default templates and adding custom configure flags, please see the: EasyApache Documentation. If you require Apache or PHP modules that are not listed in the EasyApache UI, please see our documentation on Custom Apache Modules.
