Requirements Before the Initialization of Control Web Panel installer Part 1

We do not provide an uninstaller
After you install CWP, you must reinstall the server to remove it.

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

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.
