Uninstalling CloudLinux is a fairly involved process, as the CloudLinux repos ship their own version of many software packages that need to be re-downgraded to CentOS defaults. I will be using this guide as a basis, with a few tweaks because uninstalling kernels with yum makes me nervous (dependency issues mean that you could be uninstalling the entire glibc system from your server…)
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/cloudlinux_system_install -c
yum upgrade -y
/scripts/easyapache --build
yum --disableexcludes=all install kernel
rpm -qa |awk '/^kernel.*lve/ {print $1|"xargs rpm -e --nodeps"}'
grep -r lve /boot/*If this finds anything in menu.lst or any other GRUB config files, manually remove the entries for kernels with “lve” in the name.
rpm -qa --qf "[%{VENDOR} %{NAME}\n]"|awk '/CloudLinux/ {print $2|"xargs yum reinstall -y"}'
rpm -qa --qf "[%{VENDOR} %{NAME}\n]"|awk '/CloudLinux/ {print $2|"xargs yum downgrade -y"}'
rpm -qa --qf "[%{VENDOR} %{NAME}\n]"|awk '/CloudLinux/ {print $2|"xargs yum erase -y"}'
yum upgrade -y
yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel
shutdown -rf now
That should be it. If Apache fails to start, try another EasyApache build.
