Updating Cpanel/WHM to Latest Version

Cpanel release patches / updates of their software from time to time, it is categorized as the following :

CURRENT - current / up to date releases
STABLE - Stable releases (advisable to be used on production servers / environments)
EDGE - these updates are actually advanced releases and should NOT be installed or ran on production environments unless otherwise specified(this could create more harm than good, trust me , been there done that)
EasyApache - Updates for Apache / PHP

Changelogs can be viewed at http://layer1.cpanel.net and click on Changelog

To set Cpanel how to update your system :

1. Login to WHM
2. On administration shortcut links --- Under Server Configuration
3. Click on Update Config
4. Choose between manual and Automatic updates

Note : I would prefer choosing Manual updates, be sure to check on Changelogs first before doing an update to make sure no harmful / adverse effects on your system may occur. Happy Administering !

Cpanel 11 Update - EasyApache

Cpanel 11 has been around for months now , most of the servers that I have managed either remotely or locally has been updated to Cpanel 11 with lots of features that would help little ol' sysadmins and future tech's out there , the easiest way to get around with web hosting and dedicated server reseller.

One of the most common update for Cpanel is EasyApache, "easy" as it may sound but then it requires a lot of reading and eventually testing , I almost fell off my chair due to EasyApache update getting screwed up for a few hours, thanks to the quick thinking of Mr. Bernard Abella that he was able to spot the error and eventually recreated the php.ini file, that was it ! I will post more tips and tricks and work arounds for this type of software. Stay in touch !
