Install cPanel on a SmokyHost VPS w/ centos-4-x86_64 (minimum install OS)

Installing cPanel requires yum to be installed and configured correctly. Since it is not currently installed, yum and required dependencies will be needed. Install yum's dependencies.

rpm -import http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/x86_64/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4

Install dependencies for yum:

rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/x86_64/CentOS/RPMS/sqlite-3.3.6-2.x86_64.rpm

rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/x86_64/CentOS/RPMS/python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2.1.x86_64.rpm

rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/x86_64/CentOS/RPMS/python-urlgrabber-2.9.8-2.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/x86_64/CentOS/RPMS/python-elementtree-1.2.6-5.el4.centos.x86_64.rpm

rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/x86_64/CentOS/RPMS/yum-2.4.3-3.el4.centos.noarch.rpm

yum makecache
yum erase glibc-dummy-centos-4
yum update

cPanel can now be installed. Create an install directory, and then download and run the install script. After cPanel is installed, you can log in to WHM and configure the VPS.
