First time login

[impactgc]

I hope someone can help me.. I have installed CPanel on Centos - everything looks fine, but I can't login as root. This is the first attempt to login and the root password hasn't changed.

Under the log file - it says cpanel: invalid user
Thank you for your help!!

Cpanel or WHM? You can't log in to cpanel until you create an account in WHM.

Can't login into cpanel xxx.xxxx.xxx/cpanel.

Hmm I tried to go to xxx.xxx.xxxx/whm and that didn't seem too work either.

and the port number didn't work either..

What about serverIP:2086 or 2087 if a self-signed certificate has been created?

It works locally.. It must be a firewall issue. I will have my techs look at the firewall.

Yea it looks like firewall.

Thanks for the help!!! It should work once the firewall is set!

Possible since firewalls tend to block ports. Even using /whm still uses port 2086. The /whm and /cpanel are just redirects.

I'v got to recommend using https for WHM, so https://mydomain.com:2087.

Just one thing to add, a lot of web-proxies dont like https on weird ports, we had to tweak our proxy to allow us access to whm securely.
