CentOS Web Panel is a free web hosting control panel. It has more and more users in the last period. In this post we will guide you through the installation process on CentOS 7.

You can check the CentOS Web Panel system requirements at http://centos-webpanel.com/system-requirements

Steps to install CentOS Web Panel:

  1. Connect to your server as root : 
    ssh root@your.server
  2. Probably you already know if your operation system is compatible with CentOS Web Panel. Anyway, you can get your OS info with:
    [root@cwp ~]# uname -a
Linux cwp.plothost.com 2.6.32-042stab127.2 #1 SMP Thu Jan 4 16:41:44 MSK 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    and the command (on RedHat/CentOS):

    [root@cwp ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)
  3. Now we have to download the installation script. Use the commands:
    [root@cwp /]# cd /usr/local/src
[root@cwp src]# wget http://centos-webpanel.com/cwp-el7-latest

    The output is:

    [root@cwp /]# cd /usr/local/src
[root@cwp src]# wget http://centos-webpanel.com/cwp-el7-latest
