[amin137398]

hello I'm new to cloudlinux. I downloaded CloudLinux 8.7 x86_64 VMWare cloud image with cPanel 11.108.0.6 + ALT-PHP, MySQL Governor and CageFS (build 20230126) but I can't find the login information for OS root . and I also don't know how to access the cpanel web interface please help

Hello,

We don’t store passwords for generic images, this can have serious security impact. You have to follow any kind of 'root password reset' guide from the internet. For example this seems to be very relevant: https://knowledge.broadcom.com/exter...gacyId=2069041

then you mean I should reset root password ? on some topics people said it should be "cloudlinux" but it's not
so part 1 is to reset password
how about cpanel password?

[bogdan.sh]

Yes, to reset the password. And the same password will be used to access cPanel's WHM interface and root user.

thank you for the answer
I get what to do now
there is one problem left . when I try to open web interface => http://loca-server-ip:2080 the address redirect to some internet address and don't work anymore
I suspect there should be a configuration for this am I right ?
I'll share the errors here :

According to this cPanel thred the *.cprapid.com is sort of the "default" domain used by new cPanel installations to allow for automatic SSL provisioning on the server hostname and the actual workaround is to point the doman you have got to the right IP address.

What you have to do is to modify the /etc/hosts (on Windows it's c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts ) and place there the following code:

192.168.17.45 77-79-198-14.cprapid.com
