This post is a continuation of my previous steps on getting a custom CentOS 6 install running on Linode using PV-GRUB.

If you used Linode's CentOS distro deployment feature you will need to follow steps 15-16 of the custom CentOS post to create /boot/grub/menu.lst and make PV-GRUB boot the CloudLinux kernel.

1. Install the base package group

   yum groupinstall -y base

2. Install cPanel

   wget http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/latest
   sh ./latest
   

3. At the time of this post I was installing cPanel 11.32. After assistance from cPanel support, there is a possible bug where some perl modules fail to install and they need to be force-installed:

   # Failed install: IO::Socket::INET6
   # Failed install: Net::LibIDN
   # Failed install: Socket6
   # Failed install: XML::LibXML::Common
   # Failed install: XML::LibXML
   # Failed install: NetAddr::IP
   # Failed install: Mail::SPF
   # Failed install: Mail::SpamAssassin
   # Failed install: Net::DAV::Server
   
   /scripts/checkperlmodules --full --force
   

4. Edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables and move the ICMP unreachable rule on the INPUT queue to the end of the queue (otherwise you'll block access to your cPanel services)

   # Comment out line 10
   # Copy+paste it to about line 33 (just before the "-A FORWARD" line)
   
   service iptables restart
   

5. Install CloudLinux

   wget http://repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/sources/cln/cpanel2cl
   sh ./cpanel2cl -k <activation_key>
   reboot
   /scripts/easyapache --build
   

6. You're now running cPanel + CloudLinux on your CentOS 6 Linode.
