i setup a server in my house for testing purposes recently and decided to try cpanel on it.

cpanel installed properly to my knowledge, but when i go to http://IP$:2086 i get the following error:
Code:
Internal Server Error

open3: exec of /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/bin/whostmgr3 ./initial_setup_wizard1 failed at cpsrvd line 6140
cpsrvd/11.25 Server at --.---.--.---
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: cpsrvd/11.25 Connection: close Date: Sat, 24 Jul 2010 09:09:29 GMT 0
i have tried
/scripts/upcp --force

and yet even after rebooting it still refuses to work. :mad:
any idea of what i did wrong? :confused:

Check the cPanel error log and see if you can get any useful information out of it:

Code:
tail -100 /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log
