🙋 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.
