Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Installing cPanel is very easy, what you need is patience, enough bandwidth and following tutorial described in cPanel Quick Install Guide. But even I have followed the guide carefully and make sure I have make prepation still I can go wrong. Below is quick steps to install cPanel:

  1. Install Minimal CentOS
  2. Create harddrive partition
  3. Deactivate the firewall
  4. Disable SELinux
  5. Ensure your newly-installed OS has the latest updates and patches.
  6. Obtaining a cPanel/WHM License
  7. Begin Installation
    cd /home
    wget -N http://layer1.cpanel.net/latest
    sh latest
    /usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt

After 5 hours installation is complete then when I am accessing WHM, this error came up

Internal Server Error

To validate (make sure) your IP Address already has license for cPanel to to cPanel License Validator, and enter your server main IP Address.

  • If you have updating your cPanel License from Trial to Active, or

A helpful expired license checklist in the cPanel forums takes troubleshooting further if the above methods don’t help.

PS: With an invalid license, any Web interface to cPanel will not work (including, WHM and Webmail)
