Hi, this tutorial will guide you to successfully install and setup zPanel CP on Ubuntu 14.0.4. Why zPanel? First because it is free and secondly it is more user-friendly. If you’re going to ask me about Kloxo vs zPanel and which is better, so my answer is simple. If you want a free Control Panel for your VPS that is very easy to use and user friendly, then go to zPanel. But if you want more complex and advanced panel, then go to Kloxo because you may be also able to use Nginx with it.

HOW TO INSTALL ZPANEL CP?

Step 1 –  Prepare a fresh Ubuntu vps. Log in to your server via SSH (use Putty or Terminal) as root.

Step 2 – Now try to stop Apache and MySQL service (just in case if you have them installed and running already).

Code: (Select All)

service httpd stop
service mysql stop

Step 3 – Run The following command 

Code: (Select All)

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zpanel/installers/master/install/beta/Ubuntu-14_04-LTS/ubuntu-14.04-LTS-apache2.4.9-php5.5.14.sh

Check the content of ubuntu-14.04-LTS-apache2.4.9-php5.5.14.sh and if the code in the script is ok for you (the script needs sudo privileges)

Code: (Select All)

sudo bash ubuntu-14.04-LTS-apache2.4.9-php5.5.14.sh
or
chmod +x ubuntu-14.04-LTS-apache2.4.9-php5.5.14.sh
sudo ./ubuntu-14.04-LTS-apache2.4.9-php5.5.14.sh

This is an automated installation, so panel will also completely on auto pilot, MAY ask you for confirmation just type ''Y'' and hit ENTER

It will take several minutes to complete installation, (don't close putty during installation). At the end of installation you will see your login details for your zpanel login. Just copy and save them and reboot your server.

Now visit your VPS IP and you will see a login screen. Your default username is zadmin and use the pass you saved earlier. 

You have successfully installed the zpanel. Have any issue please let me know. I will try my best to help out you.

Thanks

Good review but zpanel is not something you like to use anymore.

Way to much holes and abondoned better use sentora.
But same thing.

For users better move on to:
Vestacp
Centoswebpanel
Ispconfig

You are right at your end, I know Its development has now been moved to sentora, but this tutorial is just for beginners who never installed any control or web panel. I'm going to create a new brief tutorial for sentora also.

Vestacp is no doubt a very user friendly but I face many issues with it. The one issue I never got any solution for was WordPress auto update error. Also you need to purchase File Manager and SFTP Chroot license If you want them to work for you.

Centos Web Panel and ISPConfig These are truly very powerful panels and they have no compression with zPanel/Sentora.

@VestaCP Plugins: That's fair. Those people work hard on the plugins and thus reserve the right to ask you to pay for it. Not strange right?

i agree with rick i think they deserve something back for their hard work.

I'm not disagreed with you. but point is zpanel/sentor offers free ajax file manager plugin, I just tried to show extra benefit.
