I can't find a way of installing a free cpanel in Amazon cloud hosting called ec2 or whatever. In vps, it's easy – just run a command in custom ssh but in amazon, no way! Anybody here tried the installation?
-
I use Amazon S3 but never tried EC2. What do they provide?
-
EC2 is virtual servers, you run up and down instances to suit demand.
I do not think cPanel would work properly on an EC2 instance anyway.
-
I thought the amazon Ec2 is their cloud hosting service? I recently registered for the hosting and they gave me one year free hosting. I am planning on moving my old smf database with over 6000 members to it. I know I can install the centos 5, apache... But I think working free cpanel will be good for me, easy file editing via file manager, adding domain names.
-
Yes, it is their cloud hosting service. It is not a conventional host, so cPanel won't work the conventional way either.

Is there anyway I can install smf there and if there is, how then is it possible to manage files like editing codes? I know I can do some in admin panel but not all.
Thanks

I have no idea how EC2 works. I suspect it works like most VPS installations.
I have my own VPS, it does not have cPanel, I edit files locally and upload them, or use nano through SSH.
-
Ok, thanks, will try it out.

@wanchope, a quick Google of your root question will give you your answer.
Officially cPanel does not support NAT based networks, which is how EC2 is designed. Plesk has been known to work but I'm not sure if it is officially supported either.
There is a work around to get cPanel working on EC2 but you can Google that yourself ;)

I know Cpanel will not work on Amazon EC2 and I am not looking towards Plesk who is charging $39.99/M (more like a joke!). I was actually asking of free cpanel like zpanelcp.com, they have custom SSH which I don't know if it will work on Amazon EC2.
One likeable thing about them is that they are using Filzilla server.

If it's anything like their client, this would be a *bad* thing.

Saw their client vps hosting, never knew it was bad. Thanks for warning me. Heck! The vps hosting is so cheap :)

I am able to create my instance, I am using Ubuntu 12.0 as my OS. I just notice it doesn't have apache installed, no Mysql or Php. Guess I have to install them before I can have access to public_html folder.
-
Amazon supply the basic OS so you have full control over what is put onto your instance, it's completely up to you as to what you install.
-
public_html folder is something related to shared hostings. You have to install php(5-fpm) (if you're using php pages), apache / nginx as web servers. Then you configure virtual hosts and choose the folder.

I want to change document root to /home/user/public_html/, this will enable the users I created have access to document root an access Apache web server but It cannot save, the mysite content keep on telling me that I have no permission to perform the task,if I use $ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite after editing the file, it will save as mysite1.save, mysite2.save,mysite3.save which also I cannot delete.
