It is not an obligation for website administrators or full-on tech teams to design a website for their business. All the tools are available in the control panel of your browser; however, how to install Cpanel on centos 8 is essential to admins for cPanel in the right way.

Step1: Create your server hostname


If your host server does not have an “FQDN.” Set a hostname for that like “Hostname.yourdomain.com”

hostnamectl set-hostname server.naxhost.com

Step 2: Check the installation of Perl on Your Server


As Cpanel is written in Perl, you need to ensure whether the Perl is installed on your server or not. If it has not been set up , install it by this small code:

# yum install perl

Step3: Download and install the cPanel script


You don’t require any command; you just can need a cURL control. If you don’t have a Curl command installed, download the cPanel installer script with the cURL command, first install it like:

# yum install curl

Step4: Download and run the recent installer script


Type this command to change your directory to home and download the most recent installer script to the home directory.

cd /home
curl -o latest -L https://securedownloads.cpanel.net/latest
sh latest

Now, run the auto-installer script typing the below command:

# sh latest


Sample Output



Note: if you use SSH protocol to connect your server, it is recommended to run the cPanel auto installer script in screen mode that creates a shell session that is consistently active during a network disruption.

screen

If you want to know your os has a screen in your path, run the screen command. The system will return /usr/bin/screen if a screen exists on your system and whether it exists in your path.

If it does not have a screen, you can install it with the yum install screen command.

Step5: Access to cPanel WHM

Whenever the installation is finished, complete the installation wizard from its web-based interface, and then access WHM with this URL:

https://SERVER_IP:2087
