My warm greetings to everyone in this neighbourhood.
Today, I like to share my experience and knowledge about installing and configuring cPanel & WHM server in Google Cloud Platform.
Step - 1
I created a Compute Engine VM instance with CentOS 7 operating system and added a network tag(for firewall rules) also hostname(uswest.incapio.org.in).
Step -2
Before installing the actual cPanel & WHM, I have gone through some basic tips and tricks. At first, I have backed up IP tables.
and then stopped and disabled firewall service.
Lastly, stopped and disabled the network manager.
Step -3
Created Both ingress and Egress firewall rules with the following ports.
Step - 4
Installed the Perl
Step - 5
Installed cPanel and WHM latest version
and it took about 20-30 minutes to complete the installation process. Once completed, I logged into my cPanel & WHM server using admin credentials, the username(root) and the password. I have configured the root password using the command via SSH.
Step - 6
I have restored IP tables
and then enabled and started the firewall service. Lastly, enabled and started the network manager.
Step - 7
Activated trial license
Step -8
Configured the hostname using the change hostname option under the networking setup and added A entry using the "Add an A Entry for Your Hostname" under the DNS functions.
Step - 9
Under the service configuration, installed a wildcard SSL for the WHM services using "Manage Service SSL Certificates".
Step - 10
By default, Google does not permit to send mails from the VM instance. So I configured the "Smarthost" solution using SMTP2Go with Exim.
Step -11.
Finally, I added the DMARC record to my domain, and everything is working accurately.
Best Regards,
