Install CentOS Web Panel (CWP) on CentOS 7

I will be installing CWP (CentOS Web Panel) on a KVM VPS server with CentOS 7 from Javapipe.com with a static IP address 192.168.0.104 and hostname cwp.javapipe.com .

Setup Hostname

1. To start the CWP installation, login into your server as root and make sure to set the correct hostname.

Important: The hostname and domain name must be different on your server (for example, if domain.com is your domain on your server, then use hostname.domain.com as your fully qualified hostname).

# hostnamectl set-hostname cwp.javapipe.com
# hostnamectl

Setup Server IP Addresses

2. To setup network, we will use nmtui (NetworkManager Text User Interface) utility, which offers a graphical user interface to configure networking by controlling Network Manager.

# yum install NetworkManager-tui
# nmtui

Installing CentOS Web Panel

3. After setting hostname and static IP address, now you need update your server to the latest version and install wget utility to fetch and install the CWP installation script.

# yum -y update
# yum -y install wget
# cd /usr/local/src
# wget http://centos-webpanel.com/cwp-el7-latest
# sh cwp-el7-latest

Please be patient as the installation progress can take between 10 and 20 minutes to complete. Once the install has finished you should see a screen saying “CWP” installed and list of credentials required to access the panel. Make sure to copy or write down the information and keep it safe:

Once ready, press “ENTER” for server reboot. If the system does not reboot automatically simply type “reboot” to reboot the server.

# reboot
