SOLVED AWS EC2 cPanel & WHM for Linux

[gigamike]

Hi,

Just tried for the first time on AWS via marketplace to use cpanel AMI. I was able to setup the EC2 and it gave me a link to How to Log in to Your Server or Account - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation

But where do i get the username and password. No email on https://my.public.ip.xxx:2087

Is there a default username and password?

Thanks

Hi,

ok i found it, you need to setup a root password on your EC2 instance. Solved

Thanks

but how to set up the root password????

nothing in the system log and the documentation says nothing:

Launch an AWS™ AMI™ Instance | cPanel & WHM Documentation

This document provides the steps to use the Amazon Web Services™ (AWS) cloud service and the cPanel & WHM Amazon Machine Image™ (AMI) to build a production hosting environment.

docs.cpanel.net

first it says login over ssh:
>The server will respond with a Message of the Day that contains helpful links and a URL where you can log in to cPanel & WHM.
nope, no message

To log in to WHM, perform the following steps:

1. In your preferred browser, navigate to the cPanel & WHM login URL. A new interface will appear.
2. Agree to the software license. A new interface will appear.
3. Enter the your contact information and nameserver information. The WHM Home interface will appear.

step 1 - the whm login appears and you need a password
