Apache Module — cPanel

Last modified: August 23, 2024

Important:
  • The mod_cpanel Apache module has reached End-of-Life (EOL).
  • This module is not available on systems that run the Ubuntu® operating system.

The mod_cpanel Apache module replaces the Optimize .htaccess (AllowOverride) feature that existed in the Global Configuration section of WHM’s Apache Configuration interface (WHM » Home » Service Configuration » Apache Configuration). We removed the Optimize .htaccess feature with the release of TSR-2018-0002. This module also redirects any requests sent to a suspended user’s files.

Use the mod_cpanel Apache module to improve how Apache processes requests. This module caches requests for .htaccess files that do not exist, which allows Apache to skip these files when it processes later requests.

Requirements

This module requires EasyApache 4 and Apache 2.4 or later.

Compatibility

  • The mod_cpanel Apache module has reached End-of-Life (EOL).
  • This module is not available on systems that run the Ubuntu® operating system.

How to install or uninstall the module

You can install or uninstall the mod_cpanel Apache module in WHM’s EasyApache 4 interface (WHM » Home » Software » EasyApache 4).
