Just as topic says - if you're installing cPanel on a new machine, WHM defaults to Xskin, which has a broken WHM initial setup sequence.
For those who don't want to wait for a fix - here's a workaround.
Go to https://<your_server_ip>:2087/scripts/setmytheme
Click on "blue"
The script won't ever finish for some reason, so just wait a minute or two, then load your WHM normally, and do the initial setup.
How long until this issue is resolved?
