Hey everyone,

New guy, be nice.

Was debating on moving from the disappointment that is Vesta, and I was completely prepared for the pain that migrating will be. But it seems the CPanel Install is already stumping me, and my server.

Once going into the very empty looking blank install pages, and having to login after every step, once I get to step 4(?) I get the:
do_validate is not defined
error when trying to continue, blocking my path. The new domain was just added to cloudflare's DNS, so I have a feeling that might be a part of it. And typing in my raw IP address for the server auto resolves to the domain once again.
Any assistance would be appreciated, so I can get my license purchased, and all my stuff moved over asap.

Thanks again.

Hello,

Try accessing the server using the IP address and SSL port. EX:

https://IP:2087

The automatic redirect to the server's hostname should not occur when directly accessing the secure URL. Once you've completed the installation, review the following CloudFlare document regarding cPanel/WHM access:

My cPanel won't load or keeps logging me out after enabling Cloudflare

Thank you.

It ultimately kept redirecting, regardless of if I made sure it was secure or not via HTTPS, but I guess I was just impatient, I just had to wait 10-20 minutes for the domain to fully propagate, and it suddenly started working.

Thanks! Excited to get started.
