Your server needs an upgrade since we cannot install or update cPanel & WHM on 32-bit operating systems.
A new server with latest Centos 7 64 bit OS is needed here. We can upgrade your server, please let us know a convenient time for it.
upgrading a cpanel server to centos7 generally goes smooth. The method InterServer uses to upgrade is as follows:
* set up a new centos7 server with cpanel (stable version)
* Match mysql versions, if possible. MySQL 5.5 is the lowest possible version supported on a new centos7 install. Note: It is recommended to upgrade from 5.5 to 5.6 or mariadb 10. That could be considered after the migration is done
* Match PHP as best as possible. PHP 5.4 is the lowest version supported by a new cpanel install. The new set up allows the choice php php 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7 and 7.1 per domain. PHP 5.2 and 5.3 is not supported by cpanel. If these are needed I recommend Cloudlinux OS (requires
kvm or a full dedicated server) which supports older php versions.
It may be possible to hack in php 5.3 or 5.2 using .htaccess but this set up may not be reliable.
* Once set up all accounts are copied over from the old server to the new server. Then data is kept in sync using rsync, and a time for a final change over is choosen. A final sync is done, and the ips are moved from the old server to the new server. The downtime is generally in total under 30 minutes.
