If you see errors during this step of the installation process, read our Troubleshoot Your Installation documentation.įor more information about Perl on your server, and which versions of Perl ship with specific operating systems, read our Guide to Perl in cPanel & WHM documentation. If Perl does not exist during installation, the cPanel & WHM installer attempts to install Perl via the yum -y install perl command. Perl must exist on your server before the installation script for cPanel & WHM can run successfully.
Do not transfer the SELinux configuration file between computers.To check the status of SELinux on your server, run the sestatus command.Permissive mode generates a large number of log entries. While cPanel & WHM can function with SELinux in permissive mode, we recommend that you do not use it.For more information about SELinux modes, read the SELinux Mode documentation. SELinux in enforcing mode does not allow cPanel & WHM to function properly.To run cPanel & WHM on your server, SELinux must remain disabled.The contents of the /etc/selinux/config file should resemble the following example: Use the graphical interface to disable SELinux while you configure your operating system, and then reboot the server.Įdit the /etc/selinux/config file to set the SELINUX parameter to disabled, and then reboot the server.

You may need to assign additional CPU cores to satisfy the processing requirements of high-performance applications. If you plan to host CPU-intensive applications on a virtual machine, we recommend that you evaluate your CPU load usage. However, servers that host videos, music, or high-volume applications require more processing power, disk space, and RAM. You can run cPanel & WHM with the minimum requirements in the table above. What kind of web hosting do you plan to do? Servers that host a large number of websites with associated email addresses and databases require more processing power, disk space, and RAM. When you choose a server, consider the following questions: How many sites do you plan to host? We do not support Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) architecture systems. For more information, read the cPanel Deprecation Plan. You cannot install cPanel & WHM on a system that runs Amazon Linux. That image uses the CentOS operating system.
