Unable to Access WebHost Manager

[Osama Tariq]

I have installed cpanel/whm on lxc/lxd locally but whm is not accessible, I have attached screenshot alongside this thread.

Howdy,

Try https://<ip>:2087 for WHM or https://<ip>:2083

Thanks!

I dig out that apache service is not able to start, below is the output of http status.

systemctl status httpd.service -l

Hello,

Check to ensure no firewall rules are blocking access to ports 2087/2086 on this sever. The following document lists the ports you should allow access to:

How to Configure Your Firewall for cPanel Services - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation

Thank you.

There is no csf and apf installed in server. And no rules present in iptables.

Moreover my base machine ip is 192.168.1.99 and lxc machine ip is 10.10.10.190

Hello,

Try to access WHM using server hostname.
Login to server through SSH and run "hostname" command to check hostname

Use http://serverhostname:2086

 

[Osama Tariq]

Still...
This site can’t be reached
cpanel.local.in’s server DNS address could not be found.

Hello,

I think 2086 and 2087 port is not open on your server. Please check the port is enable or not ?

 

[Osama Tariq]

I have installed csf instead of iptables, now it's working and accessible.
Thanks to all for the cooperation.
