sudo chmod +x prepare.sh

Step 5. Now copy all file and folder in the directory zpanel-master into /etc/zpanel/panel

sudo cp -R ../../* /etc/zpanel/panel/

Step 6. Copy configuration file for ubuntu server 12.04 into directory /etc/zpanel/configs

sudo cp -R /etc/zpanel/panel/etc/build/config_packs/ubuntu_12_04/* /etc/zpanel/configs/

Step 7. Set permisson phpmyadmin configuration file (config.ic.php)

chmod 644 /etc/zpanel/panel/etc/apps/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

Step 8. Install the base packages Apache,MySQL and PHP5

sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server libapache2-mod-php5 libapache2-mod-bw php5-common php5-suhosin php5-cli php5-mysql php5-gd php5-mcrypt php5-curl php-pear php5-imap php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl libdb4.8 zip webalizer

sudo nano /etc/zpanel/panel/cnf/db.php

$host = "localhost";
$dbname = "zpanel_core";
$user = "root";
$pass = "YOUR_ROOT_MYSQL_PASSWORD";

mysql -u root -p YOUR_ROOT_MYSQL_PASSWORD < /etc/zpanel/configs/zpanel_core.sql

Step 10. Configure Apache2 :

edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

comment out:

#Include sites-enabled/

add at bottom:

Include /etc/zpanel/configs/apache/httpd.conf

Set ZPanel Network info and compile the default vhost.conf by running following commands

sudo /etc/zpanel/panel/bin/setso –set zpanel_domain CONTROLPANEL.YOURDOMAIN.COM

sudo /etc/zpanel/panel/bin/setso --set zpanel_domain preciseserver

sudo /etc/zpanel/panel/bin/setso –set server_ip YOUR_PUBLIC_IP_ADDRESS

sudo chmod -R 777 /var/zpanel/vmail

sudo chmod -R g+s /var/zpanel/vmail

sudo groupadd -g 5000 vmail

sudo useradd -m -g vmail -u 5000 -d /var/zpanel/vmail -s /bin/bash vmail
