How to Install a Specific Version of cPanel & WHM

  • Updated

Introduction

 

For some servers, you may require the installation of a specific version of cPanel & WHM. Although this is not recommended, as we want for your server to run the most up-to-date version of cPanel, this is still possible.

 

We only recommend installing the versions of cPanel that are included in the tiers mentioned here.

 

Procedure

 

To install a specific version of cPanel & WHM, you must create the following file before installing cPanel:

/etc/cpupdate.conf

 

Here is the file format for the contents of this file:

CPANEL=release
RPMUP=daily
SARULESUP=daily
STAGING_DIR=/usr/local/cpanel
UPDATES=daily

 

You will need to edit the line "CPANEL" and replace the value with your targeted version. For example:

CPANEL=lts

 

In this line above, you can use any cPanel version from v94 and newer. For further information and examples, please review our documentation on the "The cPanel & WHM Update Configuration File - cpupdate.conf."
