Hi, this tutorial will guide you to successfully install and setup
zPanel CP on Centos 6 VPS. This is basically not normally what I prefer
but so many requests ask me to post such tutorial. Well, many of those
requests are asking about cPanel/WHM and Kloxo installation but however I
prefer zPanel (
also called zPanelx). Why? 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.
Preparation
This guide is done on a cloud vps running CentOS 6.4 64-bit. This
will also work on any CentOS 6 32-bit or 64-bit but for better
compatibility make sure you use at least CentOS 6.3.
Also, although zPanel is very lightweight panel in regard of resource
usage (compared to cPanel/WHM), but it is strongly recommended to have
at least 512MB of RAM if you wish to use
-any- control panel with your VPS.
