The kernel, the system packages and cPanel&#8217;s integration all change. CloudLinux has documented an uninstall option in <code>cldeploy<\/code>, but the steps and support depend on the CloudLinux version. You have two options:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color:#0D1F3C;font-size:21px;line-height:1.3;margin:26px 0 10px;\">Option A: move to a fresh server (recommended)<\/h3>\n<ol style=\"margin:0 0 24px;padding-left:22px;\">\n<li style=\"margin:0 0 8px;\">Set up a new server with AlmaLinux and cPanel. See our <a href=\"https:\/\/underhost.com\/blog\/how-to-install-cpanel-on-centos-without-errors\/\">cPanel install guide<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:0 0 8px;\">Use <strong>WHM &gt; Transfers &gt; Transfer Tool<\/strong> to copy all accounts from the CloudLinux server.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:0 0 8px;\">Test the sites, change DNS, and keep the old server until everything has run cleanly for a few days.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:0 0 8px;\">Cancel the CloudLinux licence once the old server is shut down.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px;\">This avoids leftover packages and gives you a clean system.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color:#0D1F3C;font-size:21px;line-height:1.3;margin:26px 0 10px;\">Option B: uninstall in place<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px;\">Only try this with a full backup or snapshot, console access, and CloudLinux&#8217;s current uninstall instructions for your version. Before you start, turn off CageFS and remove PHP Selector settings that sites rely on. If anything goes wrong, restore the snapshot. When in doubt, ask CloudLinux support or our team first.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"troubleshooting\" style=\"color:#0D1F3C;font-size:28px;line-height:1.25;margin:34px 0 14px;scroll-margin-top:90px;\"><i class=\"fas fa-exclamation-triangle\" style=\"color:#00D4FF;\"><\/i> Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:auto;margin:26px 0;border:1px solid #E5E7EB;border-radius:14px;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch;\">\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;background:#ffffff;color:#1F2937;font-size:15px;line-height:1.55;margin:0;min-width:600px;\">\n<thead>\n<tr style=\"background:#0D1F3C;color:#fff;\">\n<th style=\"padding:14px;text-align:left;\">Problem<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding:14px;text-align:left;\">Likely cause<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding:14px;text-align:left;\">Fix<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:14px;border-top:1px solid #E5E7EB;vertical-align:top;\">cldeploy says the licence is invalid<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:14px;border-top:1px solid #E5E7EB;vertical-align:top;\">Wrong key, or the IP licence is for another address<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:14px;border-top:1px solid #E5E7EB;vertical-align:top;\">Check the key or move the licence to the server&#8217;s main IP.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:14px;border-top:1px solid #E5E7EB;vertical-align:top;\">The old kernel boots after the reboot<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:14px;border-top:1px solid #E5E7EB;vertical-align:top;\">The boot entry did not change<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:14px;border-top:1px solid #E5E7EB;vertical-align:top;\">Check the default kernel with <code>grubby --default-kernel<\/code> and set the CloudLinux kernel.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:14px;border-top:1px solid #E5E7EB;vertical-align:top;\">Sites show errors after enabling CageFS<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:14px;border-top:1px solid #E5E7EB;vertical-align:top;\">An application needs a file outside the cage<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:14px;border-top:1px solid #E5E7EB;vertical-align:top;\">Check the CageFS documentation and add the path, or exclude the user while you investigate.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:14px;border-top:1px solid #E5E7EB;vertical-align:top;\">Accounts hit their limits all the time<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:14px;border-top:1px solid #E5E7EB;vertical-align:top;\">Limits are too low for the sites<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:14px;border-top:1px solid #E5E7EB;vertical-align:top;\">Raise the package limits, or move busy sites to a larger plan.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"uh-section-divider\" style=\"width:min(100% - 32px, 1080px);margin:44px auto;display:grid;grid-template-columns:1fr 32px 1fr;align-items:center;gap:18px;pointer-events:none;\"><span style=\"height:1px;background:linear-gradient(90deg,transparent,rgba(0,212,255,0.40),rgba(23,110,165,0.24),transparent);\"><\/span><img alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"32\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.underhost.com\/android-chrome-192x192.webp\" style=\"width:32px;height:32px;display:block;border-radius:8px;filter:drop-shadow(0 0 14px rgba(0,212,255,0.30));\" width=\"32\"\/><span style=\"height:1px;background:linear-gradient(90deg,transparent,rgba(23,110,165,0.24),rgba(0,212,255,0.40),transparent);\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"uh-blog-cta\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,#0D1F3C 0%,#125A8A 58%,#176EA5 100%);color:#ffffff;padding:36px 24px;border-radius:20px;text-align:center;margin:44px 0;box-shadow:0 20px 40px -15px rgba(13,31,60,0.32);\">\n<h2 style=\"margin:0 0 12px;font-size:28px;line-height:1.25;color:#ffffff;\">Need help with this?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0 auto 22px;color:#EAF6FF;max-width:720px;line-height:1.7;\">Want CloudLinux installed and tuned for you?
