I don't think cPanel works on slackware. See supported platforms here -> http://www.cpanel.net/

regardless you will still need a hostname so I thought I would be the first on here to give you one just for you.

use.

host.notarealserver.net

It's just says hostname: Unknown host

What do I need to do..

Login as "root" to WHM. Go to Hostname Configuration and enter server.localhost in the text box.

it's not about NOT having a hostname...cmon, even default installs of slack have darkstar as hostname.

it's the way hostname command works on slack versus redhat flavour:


[email protected]:~# hostname
bong
(this is slackware)

[email protected] [~]# hostname
seven.DOMAIN.com
(this is fedora)

and even if you get the output corect for cpanel, it won't work.
cpanel relies on rpm too much.
and as you can see,

[email protected]:~# rpm
-bash: rpm: command not found

and this is a full working web/sql/dns server.
rpm can be installed, but it won't really work

and apart from rpm, slackware has a different fs structure.
all and all, slackware rullz, and i would really love to see cpanel install cleanly on slack
