CentOS Web Panel (CWP) – a free web hosting control panel designed for quick and easy management of VPS servers minus the chore and effort to use ssh console for every time you want to do something, offers a huge number of options and features for server management in its control panel package.
The tutorial was prepared with our "CentOS 6" template and is meant to work on our self-managed virtual private servers.
0. Preliminary requirements:
Freshly installed "CentOS 6" or "CentOS 7" template.
Minimum of 1024 MB RAM.
1. Server preparation
Before installing CWP we have to perform a system update:yum update -y
After the update we recommend restarting the server:reboot
2. CentOS Web Panel installation
There are two possibilities to install CWP. One with MySQL and the other with MariaDB. First, we have to do download installation script:
For CWP installation on CentOS 6 you should perform the command:cd /usr/local/srcwget http://centos-webpanel.com/cwp-latestsh cwp-latest
For CWP installation on CentOS 7 you should perform the command:cd /usr/local/srcwget http://centos-webpanel.com/cwp-e17-latestsh cwp-e17-latest
Please be patient because the CWP installer can run for more than 30 minutes. And after installation is finished we recommend restarting your server once again:reboot
3. Log in to your CWP
After the server reboots you will be able to access your CWP instance with the browser:
https://your-server-ip:2031/
Default logins will be:
Username: root
Password: your root password
