How to switch from mod_ruid2 to mod_suexec?

Procedure

  1. Log in to WHM and go to EasyApache.
  2. Customize your current profile.
  3. Navigate to "Apache Modules" and tick "mod_ruid2" off.
  4. Search for mod_suexec and enable it.
  5. Select "Review" on the left-hand side and provision the new Apache build.

Tip: Make sure to enable "mod_suphp" too and from the MultiPHP Manager (WHM), make sure to select "mod_suphp" as the PHP handler. (If you forget to enable mod_suphp, it might cause an issue to the PHP scripts/CMS, like the temp directory is missing).
