Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : VPS Hosting : Installing cPanel on a CentOS 5 VPS with only SoulsVM Panel atm

[JozefM]

Hello!

I want to install cPanel on a CentOS 5 VPS, but all I got is access to administrator and a SoulsVM Panel...

Can anyone please post a guide or whatever that will install a desktop ( so i can connect and see whats happening instead of just a terminal ).

Thank you very much!!!

You could use the remote console option.

That, or you could just reset the VPS' root password if you want to use putty?

You can follow the instructions at http://www.unixnewbie.org/how-to-install-kde-in-centos/ to install a Desktop on the VPS.

Thank you for every reply!!! This forum rocks

The cPanel install is still running lol, is it normal to take that long ?

Do you have a license for Cpanel then JozefM?

You know that you have to pay $425.00 per license buying Cpanel? (thats per year) Thats the reason why it's much cheaper to rent a license from a hosting company.
But as I have told you in the other thread you have, yardVPS.com do not offer Cpanel on any of their VPS plans. So you can't rent it from them.

Edit:
You have to pay $200 per year for the Cpanel VPS license, so a little cheaper. But still, it's not free.

I am installing it now and I have not paid anything lol

Btw there are lots of threads how to install cPanel and I have not seen anyone said what about license, so i think that you only need license if you are going to rent out.
Only thing I have seen is this : /usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt ( that should activate a license )

Yes the installation can be slow, it can take some time up to 1-2 hours, depends on how much the main server is loaded.

When you install it you get a 15 day free trial. After 15 days, you have to pay. So good luck to you.
They have never give away cpanel for free. Why do you think people pay $10-15/mo extra for Cpanel on their VPS?

Is there any other panel like "cPanel" but free ?..

[myhken]

I think Webmin is free and it's for Linux. And I also think Kloxo is free.

I have not used them, and don't know how good they are. But I will try them out this week.

Is it worth installing cPanel and set it up for 15 days then switch to Kloxo ?
