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.
When the process is finished, you’ll see something like this:
Now hit Enter on your keyboard and your server should reboot automatically. Next time you try to login to your server via SSH, the display will be different. You will now see CWP welcome message.
Open up your favorite web browser (Firefox, Chrome, etc) and open your newly installed CWP admin GUI at one of these URLs:
http://ip.add.re.ss:2030 or https://ip.add.re.ss:2031
Enter your root user and root password and login to CentOS webhosting control panel:
This is how CWP dashboard will look:

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.
go to CWP.admin Left Menu –> User Accounts — > Fix Permissions and select user.
I have installed CWP successfully. I press ENTER for server reboot! as per the command screen output, but server is not started yet. Now I am not able to connect server via SSH and cannot access via http://SERVER_IP:2030 also. Please help me to resolve this issue
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.
