CloudLinux Uninstall Incomplete?

mtylerb
I installed CloudLinux a few months ago and have found bits and pieces over the last few months that have been missed. The documentation for uninstalling CL is very sparse and poorly documented. As an example: In cPanel, I can still click the icon for PHP Selector, but clicking the button results in an error.
yum -groupremove alt-php
Results in:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security, tsflags, universal-hooks Setting up Group Process Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * EA4: 70.87.220.252 * base: mirrors.kernel.org * extras: mirrors.kernel.org * updates: mirrors.kernel.org base/group_gz | 219 kB 00:00 No group named alt-php exists No packages to remove from groups
Not sure what else I've missed, it's now running CentOS 6, like I originally had installed with EA4. No point to keeping CL now that cPanel is beginning to support multi-php versions. Any ideas?

    Hello :), You may find helpful steps at: mickgenie.com/cpanel-uninstall-cloudlinux/ Make sure to have console access for your server as you will need to remove the CloudLinux Kernel in this process.

    Hello :), I think lvemanager and cagefs package is still present on your server. Can you please check it and remove it with the following command.
    yum list lvemanager yum remove lvemanager -y /usr/sbin/cagefsctl --remove-all yum remove cagefs -y

    Well, those instructions are far more detailed than the ones supplied by CL. I've already removed the CL Kernel and am running on CentOS kernel, though. uname -a output is below cpMichael's reply.

    I don't believe so, here is the output:

    There's definitely some stuff missed from the uninstall:

    Could you let us know the full uninstallation steps you have taken thus far? For instance, which document did you follow originally? Thank you.

    Exactly the directions on their page: [quote="http://docs.cloudlinux.com/index.html?uninstalling_cloudlinux.html"> To uninstall CloudLinux, do:
    $ wget -O cldeployhttp://repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/sources/cln/cldeploy $ sh cldeploy -c

    This is a Linode KVM machine, so I then went back to Linode and switched from the CL profile to the CentOS profile. Made sure that yum was cleaned and had no packages marked for update (and updated anything that did). I've also removed the entries in grub.conf referencing the CloudLinux kernel.

    Ok, so after running:
    # yum remove lve
    Followed by:
    # yum remove kmod-iolimits-2.6.32*
    Now there is nothing showing up when running:
    # rpm -qa|grep lve
    The second command was just because apparently yum missed 2 packages when removing LVE. I have rebooted the server and am still getting the "Select PHP Version" in cPanel under the Software tab. See the attached screenshot below: 35051 When clicking on "Select PHP Version", I get the following screen/error: 35061 WHM shows no plugins, other than DNSSEC, CSF, Installatron/Softaculous and ClamAV plugins. There are nothing in the cPanel software area that shows any extensions related to LVE or CageFS or CloudLinux. So I'm not sure where these are coming from.

    Check to see if the "alt-php" package is still installed. If not, try running the following command:
    /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_sprites --quiet
    Thank you.

    I don't see any of that referring to alt-php. I did run the rebuild_sprites script and cleared my caches to ensure there wasn't something in the browser resurrecting it, but all to no avail. Still showing up in cPanel under Software, exactly like in the above screenshots.

    To update, the issue was addressed by removing the "/usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/paper_lantern/dynamicui/dynamicui_lvephpsel.conf" file. Thank you.
