How to Install zPanel on CentOS 6 VPS

Moebuntu · Sep 9, 2016

I read that zPanel is a good free hosting control panel for VPS hosting. How can I install it?
and what are minimum requirements for a VPS to run zPanel?

Thanks

Hi there,

To install Zpanel you need to have a VPS with root account

First off, you need to configure your VPS

Change hostname and corresponded IP address

Code:

nano /etc/hosts

for example

Code:

127.0.0.1 localhost zpanel
12.34.56.78 zpanel.example.com zpanel

Read more about how to change host name here https://forumweb.hosting/13227-how-to-change-hostname-for-my-vps.html

Update OS

Code:

yum -y update

Reboot

Code:

reboot

Download and install zPanel

Code:

wget -O installer-10-1-0-centos-64.sh.x https://github.com/zpanel/zpanelx/releases/download/10.1.0_orig/installer-10-1-0-centos-64.sh.x

Code:

chmod +x installer-10-1-0-centos-64.sh.x

Code:

yum install ld-linux.so.2 curl

Code:

./installer-10-1-0-centos-64.sh.x

In the process of installing, it can ask you some things like

Enter Your Time Zone: Europe/London
FQDN : your host name
IP: Your IP address

Just filling the information and enter to continue

Using Zpanel

- After the installation is complete, Zpanel will display information including Root Password MySQL, ZPanelX Username...and you need to save for using later.

For example

# Save the following information somewhere safe:
# MySQL Root Password : zuD3fdk45457VIoLhXOY
# MySQL Postfix Password : aaCr2CdgsdfgdsgbgIB
# ZPanelX Username : zadmin
# ZPanelX Password : IpTmaFdsfsdfb8GBM

If you forgot the password, you should use the following command to get password

Code:

cat /root/passwords.txt

The URL to access zPanel is

Code:

zpanel.yourdomain.com

or

your hostname, this depends on when you setup zPanel.

note: as I read then after being sold to HostWinds, Zpanel has not been updated regularly and maybe having a lot of errors. Sentora built from the developers of Zpanel and it is updated regularly and continuously. You should not use Zpanel anymore, instead with Sentora hosting control panel.
