How to install cPanel on CentOS

You can install cpanel on your server using the following steps.

1. cd /home — Opens the directory /home.

2. wget -N http://layer1.cpanel.net/latest — Fetches the latest installation file from the cPanel servers.

3. sh latest — Opens and runs the installation files.[Note: Better run this command under screen, because it will take some hours to complete the installation process.]

4. /usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt — Activates your license after installation.

You can simply access your cpanel or WHM by browsing your server’s IP address followed by the corresponding port number

Port number for cPanel : 2082/2083(ssl)
Port number for WHM : 2086/2087(ssl)

http://IPAddress:port

Csf command not found in WHM/cPanel server

I got the error ““csf: command not found” while executing command via command line.

[root@server]# csf

-bash: csf: command not found

[root@server]# csf -e

-bash: csf: command not found

Solution:

Step 1: At first, check if the CSF is installed or not on the server. If it is installed, most probably due to the absence of ‘perl scripts’ in WHM/cPanel.

Step 2: Take a back up of csf.conf, csf.allow and csf,deny files for our security.

Step 3: Update CSF by executing the following command

curl -s configserver.com/free/csupdate | perl

The config server firewall shoul be updated after executing the command. Then, try to run the csf command and it must be work properly.
