Since I live in Jakarta, Indonesia, the timezone is set to Asia/Jakarta. Change it to your timezone.
You can make this change permanent for yourself by appending the line
TZ='Asia/Jakarta'; export TZ
to the file '.profile' in your home directory; then log out and log in again.
Here is that TZ value again, this time on standard output so that you
can use the /usr/bin/tzselect command in shell scripts:
Asia/Jakarta
Enter the FQDN you will use to access ZPanel on your server.
- It MUST be a sub-domain of you main domain, it MUST NOT be your main domain only. Example: panel.yourdomain.com
- Remember that the sub-domain ('panel' in the example) MUST be setup in your DNS nameserver.
FQDN for zpanel: zpanel.myserver.id
Enter the public (external) server IP: 192.168.10.184
ZPanel is now ready to install, do you wish to continue (y/n)
You need to set the FQDN and IP address for the ZPanel. Later to access the zPanel you can use either via zpanel’s fqdn name or the IP address.
The script will download the dependency packages and the zPanel software itself. It may take long time depending on your internet connection and server specification.
If everything installed successfully, the script will tell you the zPanel admin account and password to manage your hosting.
