Lets start giving some use to all our VPS servers, lets install a trial or a final license of Cpanel.

If you want a cpanel license you can get 1 for $ 12 / month or 70/month for a 10 pack. You should contact Aaron Conklin at websales_aaronc@ev1.net .

In case you want a trial licence for cpanel you should go to : http://www.cpanel.net/store/

Ok. Few Steps to setup your VPS-CPANEL:

1 - Login to your VZMC and get inside your server
2 - Create a new VPS with the Sample Ve Config call vps.cpanel
3 - Select the ips you want to use in that VPS and the dns servers.
4 - Select RedHat Enterprise Template (not minimal)
5 - Dont select any addon.You dont need it for cpanel.
6 - Select the Space / Memory / CPU . All the normal stuff of your normal VPS. Put Start on boot and the rest of the normal stuff. Rememeber to use unlimited VPs.
7 - Go to your Ev1 Member section, open a ticket with your IP / and root password and request ev1 to get your VPS register in up2date. CHECK IT IF IT IS WELL CONFIGURE!! JUST IN CASE.
8 - Go in ssh and do the following steps:
mkdir /home/cpins
cd /home/cpins
wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/latest
sh latest

This should install cpanel without asking you any questions.

If you have any problems you should check: http://www.cpanel.net/install.html

9 - Login to : https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2087 and setup your server.
If you never setup a cpanel server, you can find some usefull information here: http://www.cpanel.net/docs.htm or search ev1 forum or ask me. I will be happy to help.

Well. Hopefully for some of you was usefull and will give you something else to try/offer in your VPS server.

Btw, it needs atleast 128 MB for cpanel to work.

If you have any problems with the guide let me know.

ps: i talk to some sw-soft people and they recomend to enable second-level quota (QUOTAUGIDLIMIT), i didnt try it myself. But i will let everyone when i try it.

Thanks Carlos.

Thank You Carlos!
as we say in NYC... U DA MAN!

Thanks for taking the time to help me figure this out.. as we discussed..

the system did not work on https:XXXXXXXXXXX:2087 but did work on http:XXXXXXXXXXX:2086 I will update this as I progress.

Thanks again my friend.. your time in helping me is very much appreciated! Drinks on me when we meet!

like i told you, you need to force cpanel update when you have up2date register correctly.

Heh, hopefully next year.

Happy to help. Msn me if you have any problems.

yep... /scripts/upcp --force did it.. and I think we are all good!

So when you purchase your VPS no control panel is installed? Not Plesk or Cpanel? The reason im asking is because EV1 has specific VPS accounts that they are selling namely Plesk.

this is for those of us who have virtuozzo servers and offer VPS's to customers.

Whats stop me from purchasing a VPS account and reselling it to somebody else?

absolutly nothing :-)

I just installed cpanel for the second time on the vps. I had to recreate the vps two times, I cannot login to the whm, cpanel, and not even the http shows up. Nothing works the IP of the server is 67.15.166.188 does any one know why?

by the way cpanel services are runnig

Thanks

did you follow each step ? if so, go to ssh, and run ./upcp --force

and see if that works. I can access to whm or atleast it ask me for user/pass.

Hi Carlos

Thanks for the reply. I think I might have found the problem. Apache was not starting because there was a configuration problem in the httpd.conf it gave me this error

(Just posting so if someone else is having problems)

[error] VirtualHost 67.15.166.188:0 -- mixing * ports and non-* ports with a NameVirtualHost address is not supported, proceeding with undefined results


So I went in the httpd.conf and there was a virtual host without the port setting I added the port :80 to it and restarted the server, now I do not get that error, I can access and was able to login to whm, but apache is not running.

I am investigating it further to see what I can find. If you know how I might be able to get rid of the issue It would be helpfull.

Thanks

msg me at irc, or contact me at msn soporte @ nixhost.net or icq at : 69414803 so i can give you a hand.
