WHM cpconftool Script
export config - Export only the WHM settings to a new server?
Back up a configuration module / restore - how to export whm server configuration
Clone a cPanel server configuration to a new server



Is there anything within WHM that I can export which will show the current config versions of things
such as PHP, MYSQL, Apache, PHPSU/Mod Ruid2 etc etc.
I would like to export only the settings I have already made.
How to: General Settings, Apache, Preferences ...
I do not want to configure everything again, is there any solution to this, besides the transfer tool?

The script removes any configuration files on the destination server that did not exist the source server.

When you restore a configuration module, the following actions occur:
The system restores all of the configuration files.
The /usr/local/cpanel/bin/cpconftool script tests whether the configuration settings are valid.

The /usr/local/cpanel/bin/cpconftool script runs the /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/buildeximconf script.
If the test fails, the script reverts the changes.
If the test succeeds, the script restarts the service.


The restoration process returns output that resembles the following example:
Restore Successful

cpanel::system::whmconf:
post_restore:
status: 1
statusmsg: Update WHMhostmgr Succeeded
restore:

warnings: []
status: 1
statusmsg: "Whostmgr::Config::Restore::System::WHMConf: ok"
