In this tutorial, you need a server that is installed with either Ubuntu 18 or CentOS 7. You will update it in this tutorial. You will also need to set up a static IP address for your server and inbound and outbound firewall rules. For this tutorial, you will need at least 10GB free disk space.
We need to ensure that your server is up to date by using one of the following commands:
apt-get -y update.yum -y update.We need to install Wget, which we will use to download CyberPanel Control Panel installer to your server and nano as a text editor by using one of the following commands:
apt-get -y install wget nano.yum -y install wget nano.Firewall rules define what kind of Internet traffic is permitted or blocked. You can think of it as an additional protection layer provided by your hosting provider to take control of your traffic.
If your hosting provider asks you to configure the firewall rules of your traffic (Skip if not), you have to configure your firewall rules to allow your traffic through their network for the following ports:
20 – FTP
21 – FTP
22 – SSH
25 – SMTP/EMAIL
43 – WHOIS
53 – BIND/DNS
80 – HTTP / Apache Web server
110 – POP3/EMAIL
143 – IMAP
443 – HTTPS / Apache Web server SSL
465 – SMTP/EMAIL SSL/TLS
587 - SMTPS
873 – RSYNC
993 – IMAP/EMAIL SSL
995 – POP3/EMAIL SSL
8090 – CyberPanel Panel
7080 - WebAdmin
3306 – MYSQL
For Alibaba Cloud customers, you can do that by Creating a security group and Adding security group rules to allow connections on these ports.
