How To downgrade cPanel minor version

cPanel is a powerful web hosting control panel used by millions of website owners and hosting providers worldwide. It provides an intuitive interface for managing various aspects of your web hosting environment. However, there may be situations where you need to downgrade the cPanel minor version due to compatibility issues or other specific requirements. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of downgrading your cPanel minor version.

Procedure

If your cPanel was upgraded overnight from a minor version to a new minor version, as an example from 11.94.0.8 to 11.94.0.10 and you want to revert to 11.94.0.8 minor version, please follow the next steps.

Edit the following file:

cat /etc/cpupdate.conf

CPANEL=stable
RPMUP=daily
SARULESUP=daily
STAGING_DIR=/usr/local/cpanel
UPDATES=daily

And change the CPANEL line to the desired version and save the file:

cat /etc/cpupdate.conf

CPANEL=11.94.0.8
RPMUP=daily
SARULESUP=daily
STAGING_DIR=/usr/local/cpanel
UPDATES=daily

Then run the upcp script:

/scripts/upcp --force

NOTE

Please be aware, this procedure will keep your system to the same version forever and you will not receive security and bug fixes updates.
