Prepare Server
Overview
This procedure will help you to get a fully deployed and secured eenos 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 eenos license is dedicated to your server main IP address. Find the license ip of your server using the following command from the server shell prompt
# curl https://verify.eenos.com/myipThis 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 need a hostname . You can set hostname from your server terminal using the following command
# hostnamectl set-hostname NAMEHere the NAME is the name of the host
Example : Setup host name as server100.myhosting.com
# hostnamectl set-hostname server100.myhosting.comAfter setting up the host name , please point the IP of your hostname to your server IP
Pointing IP of your hostname will help to setup SSL certificate during the installation time. If not , self signed ssl will be used.
After pointing the Ip of your host name you can test it by sending a ping request to the host name from your desk top.desktop.
An example is given below . Assume the host name 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 msThe above example will show the correct IP and it sure the DNS IP of hostname is correct and can resolve from outside the sever.
