For example, you can use Webuzo to install WordPress in minutes, saving time and effort. This guide walks you through installing Webuzo on a fresh CentOS 7 server, leveraging ava.hosting’s robust infrastructure to ensure a smooth setup.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following:

  • A new CentOS 7 server with root access
  • At least 1 GB RAM (2 GB recommended)
  • At least 5 GB of free hard disk space
  • A valid domain name (recommended for web-based access)
  • Internet connection

Step 1: Updating the system

Before installing software, it is always advisable to update your system packages. Execute the following command:

sudo yum update -y

This will update all existing packages to the latest versions.

Step 2: Specifying the host name

Webuzo requires a correct hostname. Set a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) as follows:

hostnamectl set-hostname yourdomain.com

Replace yourdomain.com with your current domain or subdomain.

Step 3: Download the Webuzo installation program

Change to the directory /usr/local/src and download the Webuzo installation script with wget:

cd /usr/local/src
wget -N http://files.webuzo.com/install.sh

Step 4: Make the script executable

Grant the script execution authorization:

chmod 0755 install.sh

Step 5: Start the Webuzo installation program

Execute the script to start the installation:

./install.sh

The installation process may take some time, depending on the speed of your server and your internet connection.

Step 6: Access to the Webuzo Admin Panel

Once the installation is complete, you can access the Webuzo admin panel via your browser:

http://your-server-ip:2004

or

https://your-server-ip:2003

Log in with the credentials you entered during the installation.

Step 7: Configure Webuzo

Once you have logged in, follow the Webuzo setup wizard to configure your server. This includes setting up your primary domain, name servers and preferred applications.

Conclusion

Installing Webuzo on your CentOS 7 server transforms complex hosting tasks into a user-friendly experience, perfect for managing applications. From deploying a WordPress site in minutes to setting up databases for a custom app, Webuzo streamlines it all. For instance, you could use Webuzo to install a Magento store or manage multiple client sites with ease. By following these steps you’ll have a powerful control panel ready to simplify server management and boost your hosting efficiency.
