Install Centows Web Panel (CWP)

Before installing CWP, you must know the following information:

  • CWP only supports static IP addresses. It does not support dynamic, sticky, or internal IP addresses.
  • CWP doesn’t has an uninstaller. After you install CWP, you must reinstall the server to remove it.
  • Only install CWP on a freshly installed operating system without any configuration changes.
  • Need atleast 512MB RAM for 32 bit systems, 1024MB for 64 bit systems.
  • Need 4GB RAM or more to deploy all modules.
  • At least 20GB or hard disk space is required.

Now, First update your CentOS server and install required packages:

# yum update -y
# yum install wget -y

Reboot once to take effect the changes.

Install CWP

Change to /usr/local/src/ directory:

# cd /usr/local/src

and download latest CWP version with command:

# wget http://centos-webpanel.com/cwp-latest

Now, start CWP installer:

# sh cwp-latest

IMPORTANT NOTE! – CWP installer can run more than 30 minutes because it needs to compile Apache and PHP from source.

  1. I have a problem with this panel. I need to run a php script, execution time him are quite large.
    In browser sho error(500):
    Internal Server Error
    In apache log(/usr/local/apache/logs/error):
    Script timed out before returning headers: index.php

    The values for:
    max_input_time, max_execution_time
    set great value – 999

    I tried to correct the error, the value(Timeout) of the rules:
    in file /usr/local/apache/conf/extra/httpd-default.conf

    But it did not help.
    Some time later, still an error: 500
    How to increase the timeout.
    Help me please.

  3. CWP is not worthing your time.
    I did use it, allways error 500, fix permissions DOES NOT WORK, and you need to change owner from SSH.

    SuPHP is a pain in the ASS, anf is useless.. all that module do is to create errors for you..

    I delete it.
