# Change PHP Version on VPS/Dedicated server (WHM)

You can **change the PHP version** on the server using the **EasyApache (Apache Update) module** located in the WHM left-hand menu.

1. Back up your current installation via the **Download** button and start the configuration process via the **Customize profile option**:

2. Select **Apache version** for a new configuration build.

The selection affects the number of available PHP modules and some specific settings, so keep the default value if you just want to change the PHP version

3. Then you can **select the PHP version** you need. If the desired PHP version is not present in the selection list, make sure you have the latest cPanel version and update it if necessary:

4. Finally, you can **select additional web server modules** which should be added to the web server configuration. 

Keep the default selection if you are unsure whether you need additional modules or not - you can always rebuild the configuration again if needed.

Click **Save and build** to finish the configuration process:
