AWS cPanel on AlmaLinux

[Hefin]

I'm attempting to spin up a WHM/cPanel instance using the officially provided cPanel/WHM(AWS Marketplace: cPanel&WHM for AlmaLinux)

I'm using this guide Launch an AWS™ AMI™ Instance | cPanel & WHM Documentation

The guide asks you to login via SSH to set the root password. But I'm unable to SSH into the instance, the connection times out.

The AMI image comes with a configured security group but I note that port 22 is not in the group




Also I'm expecting the WHM port to be there 2087 but that isn't either. Any help is much appreciated.

Hey there! It looks like you may have chosen the wrong security group during the deployment of the instance. I chose the "Create New Based on Seller Settings" option and I see this page with all the SSH and cPanel IPs included:



It might be easiest to create a new deployment and ensure you check the "Create New Based on Seller Settings" option to get the full port list:

Hi @cPRex

There is no option to create a new security group based on seller settings, as something changed on AWS EC2 launcher console maybe? Here is a video showing what I see...

AWS EC2 Launch Image cPanel/WHM no recommended Security Group

We're ending up on different pages somehow. Where you do go after you start at this page? AWS Marketplace: cPanel&WHM for AlmaLinux

Think I know what is going on now...Thanks REX!
