Can't change PHP and Suexec settings in WHM after running EasyApache


Very rarely, after successfully completing an EasyApache script, you will see the following message in WHM when trying to change your PHP and Suexec settings.

EasyApache is currently upgrading your Apache and PHP installation.

Please wait for this process to finish before changing your PHP and Suexec settings.

This can happen when the lock file is not removed automatically. The fix to this simple, run the following command to remove the lock manually.

Do not remove this file unless you are certain that EasyApache has completed
