    Default Provisioning cPanel on VPS template - how to reset whm setup wizard?

    Hello,

    We are running openvz with solusvm and wish to pre-install cPanel for clients and do all the tweaks and mods to the server. Is it possible to make all our mods but then require the cPanel setup wizard to run so everytime clients access their vps for the first time they need to run through the setup wizard?

    When you first log into the WebHost Manager and run the initial setup wizard, the 0-byte file /etc/.whostmgrft is created. If you remove this file, the wizard will run the next time the root user logs into the WHM.

    Code:
    # ls -alh /etc/.whostmgrft 
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb  1 08:07 /etc/.whostmgrft
    # rm -rf /etc/.whostmgrft
    #
    cPanel simply looks for the existence of this file, so it can be empty. To restore the file and prevent the initial setup wizard from being run, touch it:

    Code:
    # touch /etc/.whostmgrft
    #
