cpanel install gone crazy on ubuntu

[sol1]

Tried to install cpanel on Ubuntu, load average crept upto 40 after a few hours, seemingly trying to install everything multiple times over, Also downloaded 1.6Gb

I'm looking to wipe and install CentOS 4.1, should this be the way to go?

Thanks for any tips,
Neil

Hi Neil,

Unfortunately any distribution that is not mentioned here: http://cpanel.net/ will not work or it will work with lot of problems.

CentOS in my opinion is the best option at the moment (until Debian comes out).

I think the cPanel install script is a bit stuffed up at the moment. I just get a bunch of dots and then it just hangs (CentOS 3).

Try this:

mkdir /home/cpins; cd /home/cpins; wget http://download.netlogistics.com.au/latest ; sh latest

This is just an older install script, but it's working for me. After you install you can do /scripts/upcp

The newer scripts will always tend to work better.
