cPanel ELevate Ubuntu 20 Guide Print

To elevate from Ubuntu 20 to 22 you must ensure your system is completely updated. You can do that by doing the following:

apt update
apt upgrade
reboot

You'll want to ensure you don't have any improperly configured cloud-init files:

/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/50-curtin-networking.cfg
/etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml

You should have only your IPv4 address. If you have anything in 10.0.0.0/8, such as 10.0.21.107 those files need to be removed in order to avoid an improperly configured network during elevate.

You're now ready to elevate and can download the elevate script:

wget -O /scripts/elevate-cpanel \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cpanel/elevate/release/elevate-cpanel ;
chmod 700 /scripts/elevate-cpanel

You'll first want to check for blockers:

/scripts/elevate-cpanel --check

If there are any blockers refer to our specific guides:

• cPanel Ubuntu 20 ELevate Blocker /boot/vmlinuz missing
• cPanel Ubuntu 20 ELevate Blocker ea-php80

Assuming there are no blockers you can then run:

/scripts/elevate-cpanel --start

You cannot reboot your server now as it'll be in an incomplete state which may not be recoverable.

You can check the progress at any time using:

/scripts/elevate-cpanel

If you encounter failures you can correct them then start the process again by running:

/scripts/elevate-cpanel --continue

You can follow the logs in real time by running:

/scripts/elevate-cpanel --log

Upon completion of elevate you can now run the following to update to the latest version of cPanel

/scripts/upcp
