Prepare Server

Overview

 This  procedure will help you to get a fully deployed and secured eenosEenos control panel. You may prepare your server as follows, before starting the installation on Eenos  Hosting  Control Panel.

Activate License

The first step is to activate a  License from your client area.   The eenosEenos license is dedicated to your serverserver's main IP address. Find the license ipIP of your server using the following command from  the server shell prompt.

curl https://verify.eenos.com/myip

This command will show the license IP on your server terminal. This IP may be  an IPv4 or IPv6 IP. 

Make sure to active the license for the exact IP showing on the above command

Setup Hostname

Every server needneeds a hostname .hostname. You can set-set up the hostname from your server terminal using the following command 

hostnamectl set-hostname NAME

Here the NAME is the name of the host

Example :Example:  Setup host namehostname as server100.myhosting.com

hostnamectl set-hostname server100.myhosting.com

After setting up the host name ,hostname, please point the IP of your hostname to your server  IP

Pointing the IP of your hostname will help to setupset up an SSL certificate during the  installation time. If notnot, , self self-signed ssl will be used. 

After pointing the  IpIP of your  host namehostname you can test it by sending a ping request to the host namehostname from your desktop.

An example is given below .below. Assume the host namehostname as server100.myhosting.com and my server IP is 10.0.0.10

# ping server100.myhosting.com
PING server100.myhosting.com (10.0.0.10) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from server100.myhosting.com (10.0.0.10): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.035 ms
64 bytes from server100.myhosting.com (10.0.0.10): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.040 ms
64 bytes from server100.myhosting.com (10.0.0.10): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.037 ms

The above example will show the  correct IP and it will ensure the DNS  IP of the hostname is correct and can resolve from outside the sever.server.
