Step 1.Update the System
Before we start with installing CyberPanel along with OpenLiteSpeed we need to update the system:
sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y
Step 2.Remove Unnecessary Intstallations
Since CyberPanel has its own structure and relays on the OpenLiteSpeed server, we need to remove the default web server, database server, the default mail transfer agent, and default IMAP and POP3 server if they are already installed and their services are up and running. First, you need to stop the services before you remove them.
sudo systemctl stop mysql.service sudo systemctl stop apache2.service sudo systemctl stop dovecot.service sudo systemctl stop postfix.service
Once, you stop them, you can remove the installations with the commands below:
sudo apt-get remove -y mysql-server apache2 dovecot-core postfix
After removing the unnecessary installations, reboot the system in order for the changes to take effect.
shutdown -r now
