CentOS is a Linux distribution, and CentOS Web Panel, or CWP as it is otherwise called, is an open source web hosting control panel developed for CentOS, RHEL and CloudLinux. In order for the installation to go well and without interference, this will require:

• Fresh CentOS vps instance recommended from 2 GB RAM;
• It is necessary that the domain (xxxxx.com) be configured to point to the server;
• Login as super user;
• The fully qualified domain name of the server must be different from its host name. For example, the host name and fully qualified domain name are cwp and cwp.xxxxx.com, respectively.

Install CWP

Download and run the script to install CWP

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://centos-webpanel.com/cwp-el7-latest
sh cwp-el7-latest

The installation process always takes some time, so it’s worth the wait, since the script will automatically install and run all the dependencies, which also include: Apache, PHP, MariaDB and others.

Further, after a successful installation, you can observe the following output:

Access CWP from your browser

After restarting your system, you need to specify your web browser directly. Or log in, because CWP will automatically configure firewall rules in order to allow access on ports 2030 and 2031. For security reasons, we recommend that you use this URL:

https://203.0.113.1:2031
