cPanel installation is done online. As with other control panels, it must be installed on a clean operating system. In this guide, we will see the installation steps including operating system settings.
When the CentOS operating system installation is complete and the server reboots, the login screen will appear.

We log in with the credentials we set during installation and type the “setup” command and press enter. When we log in, the following screen will appear. To complete the cPanel installation without issues, we first need to disable the firewall.




In our CentOS installation article, we defined the IP address during installation. To be more detailed, we will also explain the IP address assignment process;


We press Enter and enter the Device section. As seen in the image, we can see our ethernet card. Since we performed the installation on a virtual machine, you can see that a virtual ethernet is defined as the ethernet card. We define our IP address as shown below.




The IP address assignment process is complete. At this stage, we can test by pinging our IP address; if we have access, we can connect via putty and start the installation. We will continue the installation from here.
Before starting the installation, we need to perform a few more operations. We activate the ethernet card boot feature as explained in the CentOS 6.3 installation.
nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
service network restart
The installation settings related to the operating system are complete; we can now start the cPanel installation;
cd /home
We enter the directory and run the following command.
wget layer1.cpanel.net/latest

sh latest
After running this command as well, the installation will have started. Since the installation files are downloaded from abroad, it takes 2-3 hours.

The installation is complete. We restart our server and can now log in to our panel.
IPaddress:2086
Our server information and WHM panel login credentials are below. When we log in, we will encounter a screen like the one below.


We click “I Agree” and continue. We go to the Setup networking settings and define our email address. When there is an issue with your server, notification emails will be sent to this email address.

We define the hostname and continue by clicking save & go to step.

If we have more than one IP address to use in our panel, we can define them from this section.

In the Nameservers section, as mentioned in the WHM panel guide, if the NS addresses to be used on the server are known, we can make the definition. We can skip without making changes and perform the operations later.
We also skip the screen with service settings without making any changes and continue.

We click Finish to complete the pre-configuration settings. Our WHM panel is ready for use.
