This document provides instructions for installing the Ajenti control panel on a CentOS server. It includes steps to enable the EPEL repository, install Ajenti and its plugin suite Ajenti-V, which provides additional functionality like Nginx, PHP-FPM, and mail support.

Install Ajenti Control Panel on a CentOS Server
Login to your server as user ‘root’ :
# ssh root@hostname
Update your CentOS 6.5 VPS using the yum package manager.
# yum update -y
# yum upgrade -y
We need to enable EPEL repo because Ajenti package is not available by default.
Enter the following commands:
# wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
# rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
Done. We added the EPEL repo on our server.
Next, we need to download and install Ajenti’s official repository by using the following commands:
# wget http://repo.ajenti.org/ajenti-repo-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
# rpm -i ajenti-repo-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
Now, let’s install Ajenti Control Panel.
# yum install ajenti -y
# service ajenti restart
NO NEEDED
Done, we have installed Ajenti.
But since we also want to have Nginx, PHP-fpm, Exim etc… we need to install the Ajenti V plugin suite.
Ajenti V comes in form of small packages.
Currently available packages include:
ajenti-v (main package)
ajenti-v-mail (Exim and Courier mail)
ajenti-v-mysql (MySQL DB support)
ajenti-v-php-fpm (PHP support via PHP-FPM)
ajenti-v-ruby-unicorn (Rails support via Unicorn)
ajenti-v-ruby-puma (Rails support via Puma)

2. Ajenti Control Panel
ajenti-v-ftp-pureftpd (FTP support via PureFTPd)
ajenti-v-nginx (NGINX webserver support)
ajenti-v-python-gunicorn (Python WSGI support via gunicorn)
ajenti-v-nodejs (Node.js support)
If you have Apache or Postfix/Sendmail installed and you don’t use them, remove them first.
# yum remove httpd postfix sendmail
…............................................................................................
Install Ajenti-V with the packages according to your needs.
# yum install ajenti-v ajenti-v-nginx ajenti-v-mail ajenti-v-mysql ajenti-v-php-fpm php-mysql
Common issues:
If you get a ‘[Errno -1] Package does not match intended download’ error you will need to clean the metadata.
# yum clean metadata
Then proceed with the installation.
# yum install ajenti-v ajenti-v-nginx ajenti-v-mail ajenti-v-mysql ajenti-v-php-fpm php-mysql
Usually, CentOS blocks port 8000 with firewall. Run the following to unblock port temporarily.
# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8000 -j ACCEPT
We have successfully installed Ajenti control panel with it’s plugin suite Ajenti-V.
The Ajenti control panel will be available on HTTPS port 8000 by default. Open your favorite browser and navigate
to https://yourdomain.com:8000 or https://server-ip:8000.
The default username is root, and the password is admin.
