This Tutorial describes how to disable the Network Manager service. The Network Manager service automates the network's settings and disrupts connections to the IP addresses that reside in the ipaliases module. We recommend that you disable the Network Manager service and enable the network.service service before you install EFA/Cpanel/CWP7/VestaCP. # systemctl stop NetworkManager # systemctl disable NetworkManager # nmcli device status # systemctl list-unit-files | grep NetworkManager # systemctl enable network.service # systemctl restart network.service Reboot The Machine # reboot I have two NIC in my VPS, So Add the below parameter in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eXXX of interfaces that are managed by NetworkManager to make it unmanaged.

Installation Perquisite for EFA/Cpanel/CWP7/VestaCP: Part 3 Setup Hostname Permanently

A computer hostname represents a unique name that gets assigned to a computer in a network in order to uniquely identify that computer in that specific network. The hostname is set at the time when the CentOS operating system is installed or if you are spinning up a virtual machine it is dynamically assigned to the instance at startup. The hostname is used by many of the networking programs (such as sendmail, Apache servers) to identify the machine. By default, your server is started with the server’s given name as the hostname. Some software, such as cPanel, CWP requires a valid Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for the hostname. Types of hostnames (The hostname can be configured as follows): Static host name assigned by sysadmin. For example, “server1”, “wwwBot2”, or “host.datahead.biz”. Transient/dynamic host name assigned by DHCP or mDNS server at run time. Pretty host name assigned by sysadmin/end-users and it is a free-form UTF8 host name for presentation to the user.
