Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : VPS Hosting : Installing cPanel on OpenVZ??

[midwestmerchant]

Maybe someone here can shed some light on this for me or point me to a nice howto article or something...I am still learning my way around OpenVZ and really just VPS' in general.

I've created the container..assigned/saved all the permissions, root login..etc. But now, how do I install cpanel on the particular container?

I thought I read somewhere that I just enter the container, cd to the home directory, wget the latest version of cpanel, and then sh it..Is that correct? Also, what is the difference between installing cpanel or the DNS only version? Which would I want to install in this instance?

Any input is appriciated!

Installing cPanel is as simple as:

PHP Code:

cd /home
wget -N http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/latest
sh latest 


Unsurprisingly, cPanel DNS only is for use as a secondary DNS server (it allows you to use cPanel's DNS clustering feature).

Thank you for confirming this for me

I just want to verify, I enter the container and run this correct?
