Awesome Tutorial. Can you make a tutorial on how to migrate a cPanel from a different host into the Newly created WHM instance on Amazon and do all the configuration. That will be very helpful as i really need that. I have followed this tutorial and have it all setup. Now i want to bring my cPanel settings and multiple website from my previous host to my Amazon one. Thanks
Hello there, Thanks for this tutorial. I'm having an issue with the reboot system "Graceful server reboot" is taking much more time to reboot. I've been trying this since yesterday and I'm still on it but it's not done.
Amazing tutorial, but please I need your help. I followed your steps, finished setting up my Wordpress on cpanel. But when I try to access the admin login. I get the 404 redirect error. I’ve done everything to change that from deleting the htaccess file and downloading a new version to everything else I know. Still having the same issue. Can you please help me. I’m frustrated already. 🤦🏾♂️
Hello Mukesh, I had a huge problem. I failed to login, just at a password-protected WordPress site level, and I was locked out the whole server. It was due to one of the settings of configserver (I followed your instructions) and the cpanel support team told me that it is uncommon to configure configserver in this way, where you get locked out the entire server. Could you point to the configuration that should be different from your instructions, so that this is not the case? It will be helpful to me but to others as well, I am sure. Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure of the exact configuration however I looked up some posts that may help. According to them it is likely the CPHulk Brute-Force Protection or CSF that has blocked your IP. To get back into the server they say to have your home computer get a new IP either through rebooting your modem or using a cellphone hotspot. Maybe Cpanel support or ConfigServer support can help remotely logging into it. The articles also describe how to disable these services or configure the number to be higher so it is not triggered easily. Maybe a topic for a future tutorial for me. Thank you!

thank you for this great effort, how did you go row down at the last row (ssh) so we can add the bind-address=127.0.0.1 at a new line, what keys you have used on keyboard to do that, second , what keys on keyboard you have used after editng PermitRootLogin no ... to active and save the changes , Thank you
Yup I realized that and so I have made a video that walks through basic commands I use; here you go: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WI8HiuMmouo.html hope that helps! thanks.
How use WHMCS on AWS to Sell and manage domain names. In this case the TLD ( eg: .com and .org etc). on which the domain are going to be sold are NOT part of the ICCAN managed ones like .com or .org. Instead the TLD is a handshake HNS TLD.
Hey Mukesh - After the kernel update and reboot, the instance became totally unreachable. I could neither ssh nor access the landing page, tried rebooting few times, the Lightsail firewall ports seem to be fine too...but before rebooting I noticed 'SSH direct boot login' was already enabled (green) somehow...I guess I should have created a non-root user before disabling SSH root login...did you miss to mention something or did I ? The instance is not even pinging (even after enabling ICMP) on lightsail...I am having to rebuild the Instance now...
Hi, not sure what could have happened in your case. I didn't come across it however it could be firewall (not lightsail firewall) related, but the fact the even port 80 is unreachable is concerning. Rebuilding is probably easier than continuing to troubleshoot if this is a new instance.
Do you also have a tutorial of setting up a regular cpanel or control panel instance and then doing a manual wordpress install or a complete wordpress and database migration from another host?
I don't have that exact tutorial. But I have tutorials on moving WordPress sites in different videos. But essentially you use a migration plugin that will do it for you like all-in-one migration.
Hi Mukesh, thanks for the video! I would like to know what is the difference on installing Wordpress via cPanel/WHM and using Wordpress Blueprint. Which one do you recommend more?
@@MukeshsTechSpace I see! Got it. I facing issue on upgrading PHP when I using Wordpress Blueprint. Will the same happen same if I were to use Cpanel/WHM? Thanks!
There isn't a way to upgrade the WordPress blueprint by Bitnami. Check out this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4Ec5nU-N6jw.html. Yes you should be able to upgrade PHP on Cpanel/WHM - you may need to consult with CPanel or sysadmin. Backup before you do so. good luck
Thanks, Mukesh. Excellent as usual. 1. Can you walk us through applying an SSL certificate in cPanel? Specifically, a WordPress site generated in cPanel? Maybe Let's Encrypt or Zero SSL. 2. How to add Let’s Encrypt, or ZeroSSL as an addon to CP. Found this docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/third-party/the-lets-encrypt-plugin/ 3. How to setup staging server or subdomain for pre-production work and how to secure it with the same SSL method. Grateful that PiP has been minimized. Less distracting.
Thanks for the comments. I think I have covered AutoSSL in the first cPanel video. Cpanel comes with its own Free SSL system but the link you have also enables Let's Encrypt as an alternative. I may cover a staging site setup in a future video; but there are plugins that can do that for you, most are paid plugins however.
@@MukeshsTechSpace can you tell me cons of cpanel email…actually I don’t have much budget for outside email provider…if possible please help to share video of cpanel email setup with aws dns zone
In my opinion, having email external to your server has reliability benefits, better reputation, reduced management of mail server and securing the mail server. Also if your server goes offline, then email is also impacted. Check out my video tutorials on email setup, I have few options that are low cost or even free. Good luck.
Thank you very much for your series on AWS LightSail. Extremely useful. I do have a couple of questions. First, in your first video you said that the advantage of AWS Lightsail is that we don't have to worry about security anymore, but in this video you actually configure security and firewall in cpanel. So what do you mean by not have to take care of configuration, security and updates with AWS LightSail? My 2nd question is that now, I have WordPress Toolkit which appeared at the bottom of my cpanel, and I have not paid for it. I read that it is now part of the recent versions of cpanel. It is super useful to set up a new WordPress site, and it even allows to have it password-protected. I am considering changing hosting to go to AWS LightSail, so I'd like to confirm that I will truly have access to this great tool kit in cpanel with AWS LightSail.
Hi thanks for the comments. So there are multiple layers of security and Lightsail as a platform provides the infrastructure level security and up to some extent the OS level security. Then there is application level security which is what most of the new video covers. There are even security steps down at the WordPress level which I cover in other videos on my channel. Hope that helps. I have not seen the WordPress Toolkit but seems like it is a cPanel specific feature. Here is some info on it: cpanel.net/wp-toolkit/. Seems pretty neat and I may do a video on it once I'm familiar. I would certainly recommend Lightsail for hosting WordPress. Hope that helps.
@@MukeshsTechSpace Thanks! Suggestion: when you connect with SSH (coding in black box), would you be able to zoom in and slow down a bit? That is the unknown and scary part of setting up my server!
Hello sir, what would be the Name server to point new account that is added to WHM? is it the same value mentioned in "Nameserver Record Report"?, but it did not worked for me.
In the tutorial I suggest to keep the nameserver with your DNS hosting provider/Domain registrar. Or you can switch DNS hosting to something like Cloudflare. You will need to configure a Nameserver on the WHM server if you want to manage DNS there. Hope that helps.
@@MukeshsTechSpace Thank you for reply. If I have to give control panel to my customer, I should be able to provide them a custom name server. Do you have any video tutorial to configure Name server?
Hi, me again. I saw that you comment about corporate mails, I also already saw your videos about AWS SES, but I wanted to ask you what is the best option for the mails of the whole whm account, that is to say a single configuration and that all Cpanel users have no problems sending mails. Do you have any article about it?
No I don't. you need to host and configure the mail servers with WHM/Cpanel so that each account / domains gets email services. You would need to have good knowledge of hosting email services and protecting it.
@@MukeshsTechSpace Thank you for your reply, I am fortunately already testing and so far it is going well. I just found CPanel University to see some courses. Pd. your videos are great
Hello Mukesh, Being able to configure a server thanks to this video, when I have zero prior knowledge is amazing, so thanks so, so much. I struggled with some basic things however: I did not know how to "save" in SSH connection, and the graceful server reboot never showed that it was completed. I found answers when Googling (not easy). Three questions remain: I cannot add the kernelcare patch (goes in loop and security advisor warning doesn't disappear). I read that it may be because there is only one free patch for an IP. I already added the patch for a static IP and then recreated an instance with the same IP. Are you aware of the problem? Is it easy for me to change the IP of the server? The 2nd question is the server size. With cpanel, if my websites need 40GB space + backup, it seems that the $20 80GB could be too small. What is your opinion? The 3rd question is "why do you kill SpamAssassin?" Thanks in advance for your replies.
Hi thanks for the comments. SSH is basically remoting into the server, so you'll need some basic Unix/Linux knowledge. In my videos I use 'vi' editor for changing files, and the save is !wq. Google 'vi editor' for common commands. Getting a new Lightsail Static IP is easy but Cpanel/Linux embeds the IP so that can be tricky to change but this shows how to(forums.cpanel.net/threads/how-to-change-the-private-ip-of-a-server.661821/) . It may be easier to create a new instance with a new IP. Sizing is very dependent on the type of sites, you can start with one size and always move up using snapshots feature. I believe SpamAssassin runs for your mail server, and since I turn off mail server I don't need that service.
Thanks for the comment. I don't recommend running own nameserver for reasons that I've discussed in videos. I would recommend Route 53 or Lightsail Zones for better reliability.
@@MukeshsTechSpace I am not using AWS instances, I am using my own dedicated server, my concern, my customer buy domain using my whmcs with anime, so he may need to manage domains, what do you suggest me to do?
Thank you so much. Please, how do I make create a custom domain name for the cpanel instead of using IP address? I also want it to have the padlock 🔒 icon showing it's secure.
Hi Mukesh, I have followed all step today but there is also one step in Security Advisor, which is not shown by you in the video...can you help me to resolve that point? here is the point: ""Recommendations /etc/shadow has non default permissions. Expected: 0200 0600, Actual: 0000. Review the permissions on /etc/shadow to ensure they are safe"
Thank you for the great video!!! really scratching my back! Quick question: Is it possible to install load balancer and cloudfront (distribution) with this setup too?
For Load Balancer you would need two cPanel instances setup as a cluster I think. I haven't tried to use cloudfront with Cpanel/WHM, but I did make this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ylyQPzQqWw8.html see if it helps.
@@MukeshsTechSpace explain i have domain mukesh.com domain at hosting domain provider now host aws lightsail with DNS support was nameserver update provide lightsail to hostinger now mukesh.com working but now want another domain inside this domain like:- support.mukesh.com how I will do subdomain also subdomain will SSL certification now thanks for the reply and good video tutorial.
@@MukeshsTechSpace yes... but sir if we are getting only 60gb per instance how can we offer storage to our clients.. like we offer 10gb then our storage will exceeds its limit in only 6 customers...how can we tackle this
With Lightsail you have to upgrade to the next tier of Instance to get more local storage. You can attach additional storage to an instance: lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/elastic-block-storage-and-ssd-disks-in-amazon-lightsail
Hiya Mukesh, how are you? Thanks for this tutorial, really helpful. Wondered if you could help, on my lightsail wordpress instance, in my dashboard I am getting the following message -0 "A definition of a siteurl or homeurl was detected in your wp-config.php, but the file is not writable. Set your wp-config.php to writable and reload this page."..need to make it writable, can I connect to the '.htaccess or wp-config.php file' with SSH or do I need to use FTP (PuTty)? Thanks
You'll likely need to change permission of the wp-config. Try using the 'chmod' command to make the files writable. see this: docs.bitnami.com/aws/how-to/troubleshoot-wordpress-issues/#permissions-and-ownership
I have used both the original and updated version to host software that uses php to run a shopping cart. Following the tutorial and using options from both videos made this loads easier. Thank you very much for your time and help Mukesh. I wanted to add that if you are running a database on RDS and using an EC2 instance to connect to it you will need to go into firewall configuration and add port 3306 at the end of TCP_IN and TCP_OUT like so TCP_IN = 20,21,22,25,53,80,110,143,443,465,587,993,995,2077,2078,2079,2080,2082,2083,2086,2087,2095,2096,8443,3306 TCP_OUT = 20,21,22,25,37,43,53,80,110,113,443,587,873,993,995,2086,2087,2089,2703,3306 A second hint of you are trying to use RDS/EC2 for a database is that you make sure Lightsail and RDS/EC2 are in the same zone. I had US-EAST-2 EAST OHIO for one and US-EAST-1 N.ARIZONA for my Lightsail but when i went to account/advanced under Lightsail to Enable VPC Peering my database wouldn't talk to Lightsail etc. so I had to rebuild the whole thing.
Hi Mukesh, thanks for the video, I have followed the video exactly and setup and WHM and migrated an existing cPanel account under this. The issue I am facing is that incoming emails are working fine, but outgoing emails does not go through and send a delivery report instead stating " retry timeout exceeded", any inputs how can I resolve this?
Every DNS management is different so I may not have exact however you can check this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RnICa8ywJZQ.html
Sorry I don't; I usually prefer to have email hosted by external dedicated services. I have other email setup tutorials here is the playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLPZg3ICXf7g7NDl1dix6nykkqL6OfTTDf I also have AWS SES series here: ru-vid.com/group/PLPZg3ICXf7g5xeI0LwC-dVu71Gi1p71QO
Thank you for this video Mukesh, Just one thing you didn't cover is if the domain is hosted with rout53, what is the right way to connect the domain with the WHM, I did all steps but still having a problem with the name server. Also how to replace the IP address with own domain (host Name) and how that works with the name server. Thank you
Typically I you just point our DNS A record to the IP of the WHM; keeping your Nameservers hosted by your domain registrar. I did not include steps to setup Nameserver, since I like to and recommend to keep the Nameserver separate for reasons I've mentioned in the video. Good luck!
Sorry I can't debug and troubleshoot specific issues through these comments. If you have a WHM license, their support team may be able to help you. If you would like me to consultation/advise drop me an email.
Great tutorial. May I ask what PHP version is available to use with this instance? Is there PHP 7.3 or higher? I'm planning to deploy a website with codeigniter 4 framework and it requires PHP 7.3 or higher. Thank you
Not sure, but probably AWS or CPANEL uses the latest version in their images. You can check quickly by deploying an instance and destroying once you know. Also you can use EasyApache4 to upgrade/downgrade PHP.
@@MukeshsTechSpace hey buddy, thanks for the quick reply, I got it, the thing is that I just created a new server and I want to migrate my pages to the new server but I get an error, "ssl has not received any response from the web".
@@MukeshsTechSpace Thank you for answering, luckily I fixed it, it was 6 long hours with the cpanel support staff. Thanks for the tip, I will migrate all my clients to the new server right now.
