Install WHM/cPanel on CentOS Server

Install WHM/cPanel:

   WHM is known as Web Hosting Manager, is a powerful administrative panel to access the back end of the cPanel.
   cPanel is web hosting control panel software that lets you quickly manage the web sites and hosting options using a graphical, web-based interface.

  • Login to the CentOS Server through SSH.
  • Before proceeding with the installation of cPanel & WHM, you must have Perl installed on your server.
  • You can install Perl using either yum or up2date.
  • Yum users should run the following command:  # yum install perl
  • up2date users should run the following command: # up2date -i perl
  • Go to the home folder, by running the following command:  cd /home 
  • Download the installer file by running the following command:
  • wget -N http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/latest 
  • Finally you'll run the below command to install the cPanel & WHM.
  • sh latest

If licensing fails (due to a strict firewall or modified IP), run the command /usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt to activate your cPanel & WHM license.

Note: Use 'screen' mode, because cPanel installation will take more time based on your network speed.
