Hello,

i currently use the latest cpanel on Centos 4.8 and Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) in my VPS server.

Is there a way to upgrade to the last CentOS 5.3 and Apache 2.2 without reinstalling the server and deleting all the data? I have more then 100 account so i`m looking for fast and NO mistake solution.

You will have to reinstall the OS, but you can backup your accounts and then reload them once the upgrade is done.

"yum upgrade" should upgrade your VPS to 5.3. And you can easily upgrade to apache 2.2 using EasyApache(/scripts/easyapache)

make sure you do a backup though, yum upgrade can sometime break a VPS
