Trouble installing cpanel

[tres]

When I try to install cpanel trial on my vps using wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/latest command line i get the following mesage:

Resolving layer1.cpanel.net... failed: Temporary failure in name resolution.

I prevously set resolv.conf to
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

What's wrong?

If you are getting that message, the nameservers you have listed in /etc/resolv.conf aren't able to resolve layer1.cpanel.net

make sure you have some nameservers in there, proper ones that can be used by your server. If you are renting a server from a hosting center, find out what nameservers they feel you should have in there.

/etc/resolv.conf should contain nameservers entries such as:

nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (obviously that would be an IP address)
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy

If you do have working nameservers configured, then other reasons may preclude you from resolving layer1.cpanel.net - it could be your hosting company's nameservers. It could be a momentarily glitch in Cpanel's nameservers, etc.

Installing cPanel & WHM

To begin your installation, use the following commands:

1. Open the /home directory by typing the command cd /home
2. Fetch the latest installation file from the cPanel servers by typing the command wget -N http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/latest
3. Open and run the installation files by typing the command sh latest

If licensing has failed (due to a strict firewall or changed IP), execute the following command to activate your license:

• /usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt

you have to use nameservers provided by your hosting company..

those are the nameservers asigned by the company.
I changed them cause they were not working but wrote them back later.

change etc/resolv.conf to

search ovh.net
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

I did that before, but nothing

[Gavo]

try
service iptables stop

if that works, install cpanel then CSF firewall to re-configure iptables

csf firewall

I got this:

Flushing firewall rules:                                    [  OK  ]
Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: mangle filter nat          [  OK  ]
Unloading iptables modules:                                 [  OK  ]

but still can't install cpanel

those IP's are not your name servers, they are the resolvers for the DNS (those IP's are for open DNS).

are you able to ping anything? (such as -> ping google.com ) ?
