Installing free cpanel in Amazon Cloud Hosting
« on April 30th, 2013, 12:20 PM »
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 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.

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.

@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.

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.
