I just installed cpanel on a brand new server but WHM is not loading up?

[nikolaalx]

Hello,
I performed installation on a brand new VPS that I bought from budgetvm. Actually I ordered with cpanel for which I paid extra and then got a naked server.

After I asked their support, they told me to run "yum update -y && cd /home && wget -N http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/latest && sh latest"

After 3-4 hours of installation my internet connection was disconnected. I read that this should not have interrupted the installation process as it is supposed to be fully automatic.

Anyway I waited approximately 30-40 more mins and then connected with SSH again. I am a complete newb and I typed in "top" to see if there are any processes going on.

There were 15 processes of which 14 were idle and load was 0.01. I assumed installation was successful and I tried to open the WHM through the IP:2086 , IP/whm , IP:2087, IP:cpanel

All are returning a 404 to me.


Someone please help!

Its likely the install was aborted when you were disconnected. If you open a ticket using the link in my signature, we can help you get it going for you.

well it does interrupt your install thats why use screen mode so if you ever do get disconnected the process will continue in background in a screen window but runing .sh as normal and you disconnect then setup stops and then quits since you disconnected so it does get interrupted. So to start a Screen window do this

Step 1:

Yum install screen

Note: if it says Screen is installed already then your good.

Step 2:

SCREEN ./latest

Note: if it says window was terminated then make sure you have done chmod 777 latest and then re-run command above.

Step 3: To leave the window hold Ctrl and press A+D same time that will detach the window so it becomes as background process.

Step 4: To return to a Screen window type screen -r that will then re-open the window you have detached and you will see install process again.

P.S if you ever get disconnected then dont worry the window will automaticly put itself in background so just follow Step 4 to re-sume the window.
