ZpanelX CP v10.1.1 Is Now Available!
Being one of most favorite free hosting control panel, zPanel CP is constantly improved and getting developed regularly to answer so much hesitation regarding its security. Recently, its developer released zPanelX version 10.1.1 adding more hardened security, bug fixes, and some new functionality.
Despite its doubted security, zPanelX is -for me- so far the best free alternative to WHM/cPanel because it supports hosting packages, user groups, and already includes all basic features of what a newbie really need to host websites.
Also, with the release of this new (major) version, its developer announced that zPanel Project is now owned by HostWinds. Since Hostwinds is now financially supporting the zPanel project, the revenue from the purchase of any zPanel related products from Hostwinds, will be directly injected back into the open source project.
New Way To Install zPanel
Within this new version, the way how to install zPanel is now more simplified than its previous versions. I wrote the tutorial before but it is now obsolete. So how to install zPanelX v10.1.1? Simply issue command below in your VPS while you are logged in as root. The below command will download and execute zPanel installer script:
Installing on CentOS VPS:
bash <(curl -Ss https://raw.github.com/zpanel/installers/master/install/CentOS-6_4/10_1_1.sh)
Installing on Ubuntu LTS:
bash <(curl -Ss https://raw.github.com/zpanel/installers/master/install/Ubuntu-12_04/10_1_1.sh)
see: http://www.zpanelcp.com/download/
The Tutorial (How to – CentOS)
I did try it on CentOS so here’s I share the screenshot so you can confidently follow the steps. The box I use is a VPS from GreenValueHost with following specs: 768MB RAM, 50GB SSD-Cached Disk, 2TB bandwidth and running CentOS 6 64-bit. I bought it for only $14.85/year using this 75% off promo.
Step 1 – Login to your server as root
Step 2 – Now stop httpd (apache) and remove it.
service httpd stop
then remove it:
yum remove httpd
Step 3 – Now issue the installer command syntax:
bash <(curl -Ss https://raw.github.com/zpanel/installers/master/install/CentOS-6_4/10_1_1.sh)
The installer will ask to continue, simply type y then hit Enter.
Step 4 – Now it will ask you to select timezone. Choose the one you prefer but in my example I simply choose to use None.
Step 5 – Next, you’ll also be asked to define FQDN and to doublecheck ip address of your vps. Once everything is fine, type y and hit Enter to start the installation process.
Step 6 – Now simply sit tight and wait for the process to complete. Grab a cup of coffee while you can. This will take some times..
Step 7 – Once done, you’ll see something like this below. Also, you’ll be asked to restart your server.
That’s it. Enjoy..
Q: How to get it done on Ubuntu LTS vps?
A: The steps should be similar, just use provided installer script for Ubuntu LTS above.
how to update sis?
I’ve folloe this trick http://forums.zpanelcp.com/Thread-HOW-TO-Update-to-ZPanelX-10-1-0-on-CentOS-Ubuntu-32bit-64bit (i’ve change the version to 10.1.1) but not work
hello, what plugin do you use to show the code tag?
yes mom, i’ve installed. salam kenal bu, makasih ilmunya bermanfaat
Hi,
I think Zpanel is still buggy, I can’t get the reseller and user accounts to work, I created the accounts but they can’t be accessed…..I did all the fix but still to no avail…have you encountered this problem too?
Thanks
That’s sad 🙁
Honestly I never encounter such kind of issue. Have you tried to run its daemon manually?
Okay, I finally figured out what the problem is, when I created the reseller account the email instructions sent to the reseller led them to sign-in to (server.mydomain.com) which does not point to my server ip (123.455.99.123), the reseller can’t see the login prompt to zpanel, so I just gave em the ip so now they can login using their reseller account.
Am I missing something with regards to my server and hostname configuration? I’m using digital ocean.
If you wish your users can login to zPanel via specific / custom url, simply add A record for that url in your DNS Manager. E.g: add A record for login.yourdomain.com and put your ip address there
Thanks Servermom… 🙂 btw keep us posted regarding your “New Server Setup”, if you can share how you did it step by step? 🙂 and also was it setup the way a CDN/Cloud computing works?

Hi,
First of all, I thank the team for providing rich tutorials to help newbies as I am.
I followed this tutorial to get ZPanel 10.1.1 installed my CentOS 6 VPS but I keep getting this error :
bash: dev/fd/63: no such file or directory
Yet I’m logged in as root.
Can you please help me go through this process. Thank you in advance.

Hello,
I am really grateful to you for sharing this document.
Can you please share about zpanel cron service, its not working in ZPANEL. Could you please check & share the same.
Hi, I have a problem with the domain setup in zpanel, what happens is that after adding and installing wordpress in my website example.com all is good but the problem is when a type http://www.example.com automatically redirects to example.com . How I can change to redirect from example.com to http://www.example.com knowing that Zpanel doesn’t allow to add a subdomain as “www” is automatically setup by zpanel system itself, i need to edit the /etc/zpanel/configs/apache/httpd-vhosts.conf ? And i tried editing in the “Server Alias” section but what i got is a completely separated website that prompts login zpanel instead of the website files(and this is bad because the search engines will see it as 2 different websites with duplicated content) , how you do in zpanel to solve the problem of the www?
Thanks!
without having to do any modification at your zpanel’s config, try this instead: go to WordPress admin > Settings > General > then change WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) > Save Changes. You may need to relogin after that
hello..i just installed zpanel on vps..now i follow all your steps but i cant send send and recieve email..why?..is zpanel already had a postfix package? if yes..how to configure that so that i can send and recieve email..I also encounter after install zpanel and setup i installed wordpress..but the sendmail not working..why is that happen..
Yes, each zpanel installation already has postfix and all required software to send and receive email. If yours couldn’t send email and receive email you can try these:
1- make sure SMTP, POP3 and IMAP service are running. Login to your zpanel dashboard then go to Advanced – Service Status.
2- make sure your provider does not block port 25 (SMTP to send email), 110 (POP3) and 143 (IMAP)
hey tryng to get this up and running on a centos 5.6 server… I paste this
bash <(curl -Ss https://raw.github.com/zpanel/installers/master/install/CentOS-6_4/10_1_1.sh)
into command line and nothing happens , so tried just this
curl -Ss https://raw.github.com/zpanel/installers/master/install/CentOS-6_4/10_1_1.sh
nothing still happens?any insight
try /change with this url instead:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zpanel/installers/master/install/CentOS-6_4/10_1_1.sh
I got it to work by wget the script then made 10_1_1.sh executable and ran it… it worked. However I have a new dilemma, I installed zantasticox which is like fanatstico for installing things like worpdress from the zpanel admin, however I noticed it installed all files and folders with 777 permissions… any insight?
type thats centos 6.5
K to answer my question for what ever reason I needed to wget https://raw.github.com/zpanel/installers/master/install/CentOS-6_4/10_1_1.sh
then chmod+x 10_1_1.sh
then ./10_1_1.sh and it was off and running
My installation tells me its complete but I can’t get to the zpanel login. I really need some assistance.
Hi,
Thx for maintaining this page blog, finally i could reach this page as forums.zpanelcp.com is no more working. i brought vps account from Hostwinds with Zpanel yesterday, hoping to work send and receive mail works normally. But this new server can receive mail But unable to send mail. checked with Hostwinds support team, not willing to help on ZPanel instead they said i must hire an expert.
checked smtp port only 25 is open, dont see much zpanel documentation, please someone can help the mail sending problem.
If your zpanel install went right, you should be able to send and receive email. Try reinstalling it (if you don’t run it as production yet). Otherwise, make sure port 25 is open on both IPTables and switch-level (your provider). Nowadays many VPS providers block port 25 (to send email) and need manual request to open it (e.g: Vultr).
Help Needed!!

I was installing it and then it got stuck at
Start ZPanel Updates hook
Checking for latest version of Zpanel
What to do? Any suggestion? Help?
I have no clue why such thing happens. Are you sure you are on CentOS 6 and not 7?
Me too , I was installing it and then it got stuck at
Start ZPanel Updates hook
Checking for latest version of Zpanel
zpanel is not well-maintained recently, you can try Sentora instead 🙂
This is f@!@! pathetic… It’s the second time I have to reset my VPS to install this crap and always this happens…
If it’s not working, disable this post please. Useless.
nothin happens when I copy paste
bash <(curl -Ss https://raw.github.com/zpanel/installers/master/install/CentOS-6_4/10_1_1.sh)
I have Centos installed. I tried the old technique, zpanel was instaled, but when I visit my IP, I got a bad gateway error!
what to do?
well actually zPanel project has been discontinued by its developers. Switch to Sentora instead. It has similar features
