oidentd), its mainly targeted towards installing cPanel on freeBSD.

I used freeBSD 5.4-RELEASE so you might not encounter problems I did.

firstly login to your server and we will just install cpanel straight away.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mkdir /home/cpins cd /home/cpins wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/latest sh latest --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This will take awhile so go grab a coffee. This will install everything for cPanel.

Once this is complete, go to WHM

http://yourip/whm

and login with username root and your root password. Now you will be prompted with WHM setup screen. This is really

simple, just follow onscreen instructions to setup whm. This will setup your server hostname,resolvers,nameservers and

so on.

Once this is done, you have done it. You have installed cPanel, but don't get your hopes up just yet. No doubt there will

be bugs, you are best to search google but I will go over what ones I encounter. If I do that is.

So straight off I am going to go test account creation, go to Create A New Account in WHM, and input any domain you

want, for my example I just put google.com. After I hit created it created account but returned a bind error. So we

have to fix this first.

I ran

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------/scripts/fixnamed /scripts/fixndc --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which returned

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Found key in named.conf .. Found controls in named.conf .. Found key in named.conf .. Adding key... Adding controls... Restarting bind.....Waiting for named to restart..............finished.

named has failed, please contact sysadmin (result was "named is not running"). Jun 7 14:03:26 serv named[52645]: starting BIND 9.3.1 -u bind -c /etc/namedb/named.conf Jun 7 14:03:26 serv named[52645]: could not configure root hints from '/var/named/named.root': file not

So I just created /var/named/named.root file manually by using touch command then I re-ran /scripts/fixndc this done

the job.

Now go back and terminate test account and recreate it.

This time it created successfully.

Who should become a web host reseller?

1. Individuals or businesses with more than one website

If you have more than one website and total disk space you need is 500 MB or more, you can benefit from having a reseller account. The cost for web hosting is lower than if you have individual accounts for each site. Also, you can adjust disk space and bandwidth allocations for each site.

2. Related service providers

A reseller account is also useful for people who provide related services. If you’re a web designer, for example, why stop at designing sites? Provide your clients with web hosting under your company name, and you continue to earn revenue from your web design clients.
