Wait for the installation to complete:
The script will install Webuzo along with essential services like Apache, MySQL, PHP, and other dependencies. This may take several minutes.
Access the Webuzo control panel:
After the installation, the script will display the URL for accessing Webuzo. For example:

After the initial configuration, use the Webuzo dashboard to install additional services like FTP, SSL, and DNS management as needed.

Step 4: Managing Webuzo Licenses

Webuzo offers both free and premium licenses. The free version has basic features, while the premium version unlocks advanced capabilities.

Check your license status:

Step 5: Firewall Configuration

To ensure Webuzo is accessible, configure your VPS firewall to allow traffic on the default Webuzo port (2004).

For UFW (Ubuntu/Debian):

ufw allow 2004/tcp

For Firewalld (CentOS/RedHat):

firewall-cmd –zone=public –add-port=2004/tcp –permanent

firewall-cmd –reload

Step 6: Testing and Final Configuration

Access the Webuzo control panel:
Open http://your_vps_ip:2004 in your browser and log in to ensure everything is working.
