Generally, with the users who have experienced the SolusVM template issue, the issue is with the status of SELinux.

We strongly recommend we disable the SELinux to prevent issues with installation regardless of the environment the administrators install cPanel on.


How to Disable SELinux ?

In order to make the system compatible with cPanel & WHM, we need to disable SELinux.

To disable SELinux security features, we use either of the following steps:

1. Use the graphical interface to disable SELinux while we configure the operating system, and then reboot the server.

2. Edit the /etc/selinux/config file to set the SELINUX parameter to disabled, and then reboot the server.

The contents of the /etc/selinux/config file will resemble the following example:

# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
# targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected.
# strict - Full SELinux protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
