I'm an Ensim person but one of my customers wants to know a question about Cpanel and I'm not sure. To login to the admin for cpanel, is it just like in Ensim where you use the /admin at the end of the domain? Thanks!

you can use /cpanel/ at the end of the domain.

Does /admin work, though??? I'm hoping not b/c that's his biggest complaint.

no /admin does not work. Only /cpanel unless some apache tweaking is done to switch it to something else.

Yes /cpanel and :2082 is how you would get to cpanel -- it is possible to change it though although I would suggest getting an experienced admin to do that.

You can change it to /admin in the httpd.conf i'm sure. I reserve the right to be wrong though

Check out my Cpanel Newbie guide with outlines some basics like logging into your machine and much more.

You should use the secure URLs:

WHM:
https://YOURIP:2087/

CPanel:
https://YOURIP:2083/

Using /cpanel/ is unsecure and your name and password is in plain text - unless you modify httpd.conf.

I'm migrating some users from an Ensim server to cpanel and it would make it a little easier for end users if their admin url was the same as in Ensim. (www.domain.com/admin)

I know I can do this by adding the following line to httpd.conf:

"ScriptAlias /admin /usr/local/cpanel/base/sredirect.cgi"

However, i'm not sure if this will break anything in cpanel? Anyone know if that url isused for anything else? OSCommerce or any other script or application?

Thanks (I'm a cpanel newbie)

All of the links should be relative and it should not give you any trouble, that being said I have not personally tried it.
