Dedicated Server<\/a>) running CentOS 7.<\/p>\nWhen we’re done, it will be running cPanel, and can host a variety of separate domains and web apps.<\/p>\n
Tutorial<\/h2>\n
Start by applying all CentOS 7 security updates and bugfixes. This step should be done regularly to keep your server running securely and efficiently.<\/p>\n
yum -y update
\nshutdown -r now<\/code><\/p>\nSELinux is a solid security subsystem, but it also presents some management challenges. For this guide, we’ll disable SELinux to make things easier. In general, SELinux does not play well with services like cPanel that attempt to manage underlying aspects of your server.<\/p>\n
setenforce 0
\nsed -i 's\/enforcing\/disabled\/' \/etc\/sysconfig\/selinux<\/code><\/p>\nWe must also disable the firewall, since cPanel will be securely managing any services it needs. cPanel also expects to run services on arbitrary ports, and leaving the firewall active will complicate initial setup.<\/p>\n
systemctl stop firewalld.service
\nsystemctl disable firewalld.service<\/code><\/p>\nA valid hostname must be set on the server for it to operate. We’ll set that up in this step.<\/p>\n
hostnamectl set-hostname server.yourdomain.com<\/code><\/p>\ncPanel is packaged as its own installer. As such, you’ll need to download and run that to start the process.<\/p>\n
cd \/home
\ncurl -o latest -L https:\/\/securedownloads.cpanel.net\/latest
\nsh latest <\/code><\/p>\nWhen the installation completes, go to your WHM management area to continue. It can be accessed at https:\/\/your_ip:2087.<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n
You now have a complete cPanel\/WHM installation. With this task accomplished, it is now time to start creating and deploying other websites and services to your new server.
