EasyApache4 migration currently building EasyApache 3 stack

elisethechemist
I am having issues migrating to easyapache 4. I am using CentOS 7.5 OS with cpanel version 72.0.7. I run the migration tool through the WHM and get these warnings during the pre-flight check: Warning: "Cpanel::Easy::PHP5::MailHeaders" ignored since it does not have an RPM. Warning: "Cpanel::Easy::Apache::Fileprotect" ignored since it does not have an RPM. Warning: "Cpanel::Easy::Apache::Access" ignored since it does not have an RPM. Warning: Current profile has the following MPMs: ea-apache24-mod_mpm_prefork Warning: Adding the missing package, ea-apache24-mod_suexec, to the EasyApache 4 profile.
I click to proceed anyway since research into these topics shows that they are not fatal issues and can be resolved later. The migration tool then tells me the script has run successfully but has this output: CHILD_PID: 12436 checkyum version 22.3 Use of uninitialized value $specific in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Config/Httpd.pm line 48. This system is currently building an EasyApache 3 stack. Please wait for that process to finish before migrating to EasyApache 4 A record of this process may be found at : /var/cpanel/updatelogs/ea4_migration.1531076713.log
I've waited around 5 hours to see if the building was just taking forever on my hardware, but it seems stuck. easyapache 2.4 is running currently and I have a few wordpress sites and a scheduling software that work, so whatever has been built is active. I am relatively new to cpanel and linux, so help would be very appreciated. Thank you! Elise

    If I do this, will I be able to revert back to EA3 if something goes wrong? I've DL'ed my EA3 profile, but I want to be sure. Also, the error with the Httpd.pm line 48, what is this? Furthermore, when I run the migration tool in the WHM, it gives me a new "CHILD_PID" and migration log number - does that mean it's actively trying to do something? Sorry for the Qs, but I don't want to run something that I can't revert later, and I am trying to understand why this issue is occurring.

    To cancel active operations, restart the server. Then run the easyapache 4 migrate command. Yes, If you see a problem, you can return to easyapache 3 with the following commands. After the process is done you need to re-compile php in easyapache 3 again. mkdir /usr/local/apache.ea3 /scripts/migrate_ea3_to_ea4 --revert --run

    As noted by @vacancy it sounds like there was an ongoing EasyApache3 process when running EA4 migration. If you do experience issues with the migration to EasyApache 4 please let us know, I would not advise remaining on EasyApache 3 as we will stop supporting it at the end of the year. We've ironed out a lot of the migration issues with EA3->EA4 and can usually help pretty quickly when any are experienced. Thanks!

    Hello! Unfortunately the script results in the same issues. I rebooted the server (a full reboot from the terminal) then ran the script. /scripts/migrate_ea3_to_ea4 --run --force
    Gave the following results from terminal (see attached pictures)

    UPDATE: I got it to migrate successfully! I rebuilt EA3, recompiled PHP and I saw that it was getting stuck ad the "upgrading PHP and suexec. I removed the lock file from apache after making sure that php had finished compiling. Migrated to EA4 and success!
