How to change cPanel package names in SSH

[NationWebHost]

Hello,

This is tutorial on how to change your cPanel package names in SSH.

Firstly login to SSH.

Proceed to folder 'root'
cd root
If you get: -bash: cd: root: No such file or directory
Don't worry, this just means you are already in root directory.

Next, proceed to folder 'var'
cd /var



Then proceed to folder 'cpanel'
cd cpanel



Then proceed to folder 'packages'
cd packages



Now we are in the directory where all the packages are kept. Now you will be wanting the names of the packages in here. To list them use the command:
'ls'



After you have listed the directory, we are now going to use the rename command 'mv'.

mv oldpackagename newpackagename

Example:

mv NeptuneMax NeptuneMax1



Written by me, nothing special but I hope it helps!
Enjoy

Thanks for this. But just a suggestion, hide "root@vuze" it may be good for hackers to determine & hack. So just remove it from the screenshots

Nice tutorial.

Nice tutorial.

They haven't got the IP address and the port is changed so it is all good.

Nice tutorial.

How would that help hackers?
"vuze" is the server name, so most likely vuze.vuzehosting.com
and "root" is, well the root user.

They haven't got the IP address and the port is changed so it is all good.

Even if they did, the likely hood of them hacking it are very slim since on most servers after 3 invalid logins, you get banned. So unless you have a really unsecure password, you're good
