Manually Installing a BT Panel (CentOS 7.2)

Application Scenarios

The best practices for Huawei Cloud ECS guide you through the manual installation of a BT panel on Linux ECSs. BT panel is an easy-to-use, powerful, and free-of-charge server management software that supports Linux and Windows. It allows you to configure LAMP, LNMP, websites, databases, FTP, and SSL with few clicks and easily manage ECSs through a web client. This section uses CentOS 7.2 64bit as an example to describe how to install BT panel 6.9.

Advantages

• A management project can be quickly created.
• You can view your server resource usage.
• The software installation and source code deployment is easy.

Constraints

• ECS OS and specifications:
  • A minimum of 512 MB memory is required, but 768 MB or above is recommended. A BT panel occupies about 60 MB of the total.
  • A minimum of 100 MB disk space is required. A BT panel occupies about 20 MB of the total.
  • BT panel Linux 6.0 was developed based on CentOS 7, so CentOS 7.x is strongly recommended.
  • The OS has no Apache, Nginx, PHP, or MySQL installed.
• The rule listed in the following table has been added to the security group which the target ECS belongs to. For details, see Adding a Security Group Rule.

  Table 1 Security group rule

  Direction	Protocol/Application	Port/Range	Source
  Inbound	TCP	8888	0.0.0.0/0
