Installation of cPanel
Often users want to buy cPanel with a new VPS order, so we will also install cPanel on their VPS for free.
How to install cPanel
- Install CentOS on their VPS if this is a new VPS. If they have an existing VPS, tell them that the cPanel installer requires their VPS to be from a clean install.
- Log into their console by going to the dom0 and typing xm console xenXX where XX is their VPS number. Ensure the VPS is started first though.
- Install perl and rdate by typing yum install perl rdate
- Type cd /home
- Type wget -N http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/latest
- Type sh latest
Licensing Issues
Marc usually buys licenses from BuyCPanel. If he's not around though, a trial license is automatically generated and the user will have to live with that.
