Initial Login Page Not Found

[pmcnamara]

I have installed CentOS5, WHM and Cpanel. As far as I can tell, everything went fine. When my Server boots up, it goes through what looks like a normal boot process, and lists the cpanel services that are starting, etc. However, when I try to load the cpanel or whm using the internal ip address, it does not work. I get a page not found error. This is what i'm using:

http://192.168.1.102:2086
http://192.168.1.102:2087
http://192.168.1.102:2082

I have tried all of those and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? I'm not a linux person at all, but really want to get this up and running. I love cpanel and have been using it for years, but tired of paying hosting companies to host all our companies client websites.

Thanks in advance

what is the the cpanel error log ?

/usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log is the file

how to retrieve log

How would i show the log, or email the log to myself?

This is what I tried and got from the prompt:

#/usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log
-bash: /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log: Permission denied

No Luck

Ok, when I do that and hit the enter key, the cursor goes to the next line and it's just sitting there blinking. Then, I tried again to go to:

http://192.168.1.102:2086
http://192.168.1.102:2087
http://192.168.1.102:2082

with no luck. I am now getting "the connection was reset" in firefox when I try to load any of those pages. Furthermore, I can't telnet to any of the addresses above. Thanks again for the help.

in the ssh use try this

tail -f /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log

then try to access cpanel so that the error will be displayed in the shell for you

cpanel ports are enabled at your local firewall ?

what is the output of

tail /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log ?

if it is a page not found error, the error will be logged in cpanel logs

Cpanel ports are enabled

yes, cpanel ports are enabled on firewall. I use cpanel through my reseller hosting account all the time, so it's not that.

the output from the shell was:

INIT: version 2.86 reloading

but the cpanel or whm will still not load in the browser
