🙋 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – CyberPanel Installation
❓1. What are the minimum requirements to install CyberPanel?
To install CyberPanel smoothly, your server should meet the following requirements:
- Operating System: Fresh installation of Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 or CentOS 7.
- RAM: Minimum 1 GB (2 GB or more recommended).
- Disk Space: At least 10 GB free space.
- Root Access: Full sudo/root privileges required.
For best performance, HosterSale recommends at least 2 GB RAM VPS or a Dedicated Server.
❓2. Why am I getting “sudo: command not found” during installation?
This error usually appears on minimal CentOS installations that don’t have sudo installed by default. To fix this, login as root and run:
yum install sudo -y
On Ubuntu, sudo is generally pre-installed. If not:
apt update && apt install sudo -y
❓3. Can I install CyberPanel without root access?
No. Root access is mandatory to run the installation script and configure system-level services such as web servers, firewalls, and DNS.
If you are using HosterSale VPS or Dedicated servers, root access is provided by default.
❓4. I’m getting “curl: command not found” — what should I do?
This happens when the system doesn’t have curl installed, which is required to fetch the installation script. You can install it using:
- Ubuntu:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install curl -y - CentOS:
sudo yum install curl -y
❓5. Can I install CyberPanel on an existing server with websites already running?
It’s strongly not recommended. CyberPanel should be installed on a fresh OS (without Apache, NGINX, MySQL, or other web stacks). Existing configurations may conflict with CyberPanel’s setup.
❓6. What if the installation gets stuck or fails midway?
If the installation freezes or fails:
- Check server RAM and disk space.
- Ensure your OS is supported (Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 or CentOS 7 only).
- Reboot and re-run the script on a clean OS.
- You can also contact HosterSale support for free CyberPanel setup on eligible VPS and Dedicated Servers.
❓7. How long does it take to install CyberPanel?
On average, CyberPanel installation takes 10–20 minutes, depending on your server specs and internet speed. VPS with lower resources may take longer.
❓8. After installation, I can’t access the CyberPanel dashboard. What should I do?
Check the following:
- Make sure port 8090 is open on your firewall.
- Try accessing:
http://your-server-ip:8090 - Restart CyberPanel using:
systemctl restart lscpd
Also, verify that your server’s IP is publicly accessible and not blocked by any cloud firewall like AWS Security Groups.
❓9. How can I uninstall CyberPanel?
CyberPanel doesn’t offer an official uninstaller. If needed:
- Reinstall your OS, or
- Manually remove services (LiteSpeed, MariaDB, etc.), which is time-consuming.
That’s why it’s best to test CyberPanel on a temporary VPS or take a snapshot before setup.
❓10. Is CyberPanel installation supported by HosterSale?
Yes! If you’re using a HosterSale Cloud VPS or Dedicated Server, we offer free CyberPanel installation and optimization. You can request it during order checkout or via support ticket.
