[ElFlammable]

Hello guys,

I was just asking if cPanel require a clean server? No Apache, MySQL and PHP?

Does cPanel helps on managing a server, Because im new and I just purchased a Virtual Private Server to start learning management!

Thank you.

Yes, you wanting nothing other than the OS.

cPanel does not, they will provide support if you get stuck or have issues but they are not your server management provider.

If you need a fully managed solution you need to get your server from a vendor who offers that.

PS. You may want to see about changing your sig as based on the question you just posed you are not ready to say you are anything close to being a host.

I know that cPanel os not my server management provider, As I said in the first post (I just purchased a Virtual Private Server to start learning management!) and I will not be a host until I learn full management.

cPanel needs to be installed on a clean server... with nothing else installed. It will install PHP, MySQL, etc for you.

Yes clean server is recommended to function it properly. If you don't install in clean server you may face certain issues with it.

If you install cPanel on a server with software like Apache or something it will cause some issues !
