EasyApache 4 is an overview of how cPanel and WHM manage your Apache and PHP distribution and is RPM/Package based. This intends no further long recompile of Apache and PHP every time a module is required. MultiPHP support provides for a different PHP version for each virtual host and also enables different PHP handlers to be used for those versions.
EasyApache 4 brings several enhancements over EasyApache 3. Using binary packages enables faster updates and installations. EasyApache 4 uses Software Collections Library (SCL) for PHP packages, allowing the installation of various versions of PHP on the file system. In addition, paths have been rearranged to allow EasyApache 4 to function more effectively and allow multiple directories to store data.
Recently cPanel said that with the release of TSR-2020-0002 two bugs in cPanel & WHM software versions 86, 84, and 78 have been fixed. Also in the future, the cPanel team will add new data about the behavior of security problems.
