How to enable/disable Apache & PHP modules using EasyApache4?

EasyApache is a powerful script that allows you to upgrade and configure Apache web server. It also lets you enable/disable Apache or PHP modules using the EasyApache tool in WHM. During this process, cPanel rebuilds Apache and PHP with the options you select or deselect.

With an older version of cPanel, EasyApache version 3.0 was shipped, whereas in the latest version of cPanel (58.0), EasyApache version 4.0 is shipped. EasyApche 4.0 is little tricky to configure compared to that EasyApache 3.0. In this tutorial, we'll show you, how to enable/disable Apache & PHP modules using the EasyApache4. If you are using EasyApache 3.0, you should refer to this tutorial.
