================

Run the install script in a browser.

http://<domain-name-here>/whmcs/install/install.php

During the install script, use the MySQL database you created earlier in this article.

Database Host: localhost
Database Name: whmcs
Database Username: whmcs
Database Password: *password that was used*

You will also be directed to set up a cron job as root, which also cannot be done through WHM and must be done manually at the shell (crontab -e).

Code: [Select]

01 1 * * * php -q /usr/local/apache/htdocs/whmcs/admin/cron.php
After completing the installation, delete the /whmcs/install directory (you will be prompted to do so).

Code: [Select]

rm -rf /usr/local/apache/htdocs/whmcs/install
You are done
