It runs on port 80 and the best feature of this application is the easy graphical user friendly interface.

>It allows you manage your servers in very user friendly graphical manner. Few clicks and you will be able to host your website, manage your DNS server, create and delete users and groups and much more.
And all this can be done remotely, all u need is a web browser to run it.

>Create a folder,(say cpanel) inside /.

>Change permissions as :
dcpanel rwx-rwx---- root apache 

>Extract and place all the files in /cpanel folder.

>Edit /etc/sudoers file

##HOW IS THIS THING WORKING??

>It uses PHP codes to interact with the linux server. Some tasks are done directly through the PHP codes and for some a shell script is created, executed to accomplish the task and then deleted as soon as the task is done. All the Script handling is also done through the PHP codes only.
Just write the command inside `<command>` to execute on Linux.
