Cannot connect to new cpanel install

[Spabel]

Hi,

I've just completed my first cPanel install, and as far as I could see there were no problems.

I am now trying to connect to the web frontend for the first time but it's not opening the page.

Where / how can I start troubleshooting?

Try pointing your web browser to the IP address of your server. Do you see a "Great Success!" page indicating cPanel/WHM has been installed? If so, one thing you may want to do is login to the server and see if cpsrvd is running. This is the web server that serves the actual cPanel/WHM pages on ports 2082, 2083, 2086, 2087, 2095 and 2096.

So others can assist you as well, what distribution are you using?
