cPanel Versionsaktualisierung

cPanel is a widely used control panel for server management. Keeping cPanel up-to-date is crucial for the security and performance of your server. In this guide, I'll walk you through the process of updating cPanel to the latest version using SSH.

1. Establishing an SSH Connection

First, you need to connect to your server via SSH where cPanel is installed. You can use a terminal (Linux/macOS) or an SSH client like PuTTY (Windows) to establish the connection.

Use the following command in the terminal or PuTTY to connect to your server:

Replace root@your_server_ip with your server's IP address. After entering the command, provide the root user's password to log in.

2. Running the cPanel Update Command

To update cPanel to the latest version, you can use the upcp command. This command checks for the latest cPanel version and installs it.

Execute the following command in your SSH terminal:

This command will begin the update process, which may take several minutes depending on your server's speed and the size of the updates.

3. Verifying the Update

Once the update process is complete, you should see a confirmation message in the terminal indicating that the update was successful. To verify the installed version of cPanel, you can use the following command:

This command will display the current version number of cPanel installed on your server.

4. Post-Update Checks

After the update is complete, it's important to ensure that your server and cPanel services are functioning correctly. Log into the WHM (Web Host Manager) panel and check the overall system status and the status of cPanel services.

Once logged into WHM, go to the Server Status section to check the status of services and ensure there are no issues.

5. Configuring Automatic Updates (Optional)

To ensure that cPanel stays up-to-date, you can configure automatic updates. This is particularly important for security patches and critical updates.

In the WHM panel:

1. Navigate to Server Configuration and select Update Preferences.
2. Configure the automatic updates to your preference. You can choose the RELEASE or CURRENT version channels.
