To avoid facing any issues, please make sure to read all of this instructions manual thoroughly prior to the installation process.
After you install CWP, you must reinstall the server to remove it.
We do not support dynamic, sticky, or internal IP addresses.
Make sure that you complete the following tasks before you start the installation process:
1. Setup Hostname
This hostname cannot be the same as any domain that is on your server (for example, if example.com is a domain on your server, use hostname.example.com as your fully qualified hostname).
You can use the following command for hostname setup eg. srv1.example.com
hostname srv1.example.com
2. Setup Server IP addresses
Define additional IP address, subnet address, and default gateway IP address for your server — your service provider can provide you with this information.
3. Software Requirements
You must have a clean/fresh installation of supported operating systems:

Now we need to update your server to the latest version
yum -y update

Reboot your server so that all updates can take effect.
reboot
