    Use http://serverip/whm as root user has access to administrator WHM interface and not cPanel. cPanel is only for non-root users.
    1 solution works for all problems. Trying harder!

    You can only create resellers and manage hosting from WHM. cPanel is end user panel to manage a single account.

    Click on "Create a New Account" in WHM under Account Functions. Then you should be able to login to cPanel as that user.

    You can escalate cPanel users to Reseller users via the Reseller Center screen in WHM.
