Centos 7 Cpanel Installation and Detailed Settings

Although Cpanel offers a higher license price than other paid panels, it is still the most used web hosting control panel and it seems that it will continue to be so for a long time.

Especially with the variety it offers in software, Cpanel stands out from other panels. On the dns side, Bind, Powerdns, Mydns, NSD, on the Web server side, Apache, Nginx, and Litespeed can use exim as an MTA on the Mail side, and Dovecot and Courier as an auth. It has a special software such as Easyapache and you can easily activate Apache modes or PHP components.

End users can handle all the necessary operations themselves via Cpanel. The end user can handle any configuration that may be necessary from his own panel without consulting the server administrator.

There is also an advanced support system. Of course, there are a lot of documents due to their widespread use, and there are a lot of people who will help in the forums as well. In case of a possible problem, support teams can connect to your server and perform operations directly.

For such reasons, the use of Cpanel is quite common and is preferred by Linux Hosting users.

What are the cpanel requirements? (Cpanel requirements)
Cpanel can only be installed on Centos and Redhat deployments. (Except for Amazon Linux) Centos 6.5 and 7 versions, which will end support for version 6 soon. On the Redhat side, versions 6 and 7 are supported.

A minimum of 1GB of ram requires a 20GB hard drive.

Cpanel Pre-Installation Settings
Let's connect to our Centos installation presentation via SSH and update the system first;

 

    yum update -y

 

 

After the Yum update process is completed, we will make one or two settings, install one or two applications and proceed to installation. Let's turn off Network Manager first, or we will get a Network Manager error.

 

systemctl stop NetworkManager.service

systemctl disable NetworkManager.service

systemctl enable network.service

systemctl restart network.service

 

Let's set up the applications that you will need later;

 

yum install -y wget

yum install -y nano

 

Let's disable Selinux

 

nano/etc/selinux/config

 

 

Where SELINUX=enforcing is written, we delete the ”enforcing“ phrase and type ”disabled" and save it with CTRL+x and exit.

In addition, our hostname name must also be FQDN. So hostname.domain.com like. If not, let's update;

 

hostnamectl set-host hostname.domain.com

Our necessary preparations for the installation are complete, we can now proceed to the installation.
