$ sudo cat .litespeed_password

To install CyberPanel via command line, follow the steps given below:

• Deploy a CentOS 7.x (recommended) or Ubuntu server on a cloud hosting account.
• Login to the server through the command line.
• Run this command: sh <(curl https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh || wget -O – https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh).

How to Install Joomla on CyberPanel ?

• In this case, we need to create a database using CyberPanel's built-in tools. 
• Navigate to the CyberPanel dashboard and we will find the database management tool on the left sidebar.

How to resolve Common error encountered while installing Joomla with CyberPanel on Ubuntu Linux System ?

When installing Joomla on the new website, at times, we may see an error as given below:

Installation failed. Error message: Target directory should be empty before installation, otherwise data loss could occur. [404]

This happens because when we create a new site from CyberPanel, a default index.html is created at doc root and .well-known directory if we create a website with SSL.

CyberPanel Joomla installer checks if the installation directory is empty or not. 

So we need to delete the index.html file before we can install Joomla. 

We do not need to delete the .well-known folder (if any) as this folder will be ignored and kept intact.
