A Complete Guide to Saving a Custom EasyApache 4 Profile

EasyApache (EA) is an excellent in-built tool provided in WHM/cPanel that you can use to configure your Apache web server. You can access it either via SSH or WHM.

EA4 has a few default configurations, but you can make changes to it. The configurations are known as Profiles. As you make changes to the original configuration by installing or updating modules, you must save them. This way, you can create as many configurations are you want. In this article, we explain how to save a Custom EasyApache 4 Profile.
