Installing zPanel on Ubuntu (free cPanel alternative)
| zPanel is a free alternative to cPanel. It's very easy to setup if you follow the below instructions: 1. Login to your server via SSH 2. First we need to remove AppArmor (a security feature which can block legitimate applications): /etc/init.d/apparmor stop 2. Type:update-rc.d -f apparmor remove apt-get remove apparmor apparmor-utils tar -xf zpanelinstaller-x86_64-install.sh.x.tar.gz chmod +x installer-x86_64-install.sh.x ./installer-x86_64-install.sh.x 3.
