Hello, bodyguardtanjungmas

You need a fully qualified domain name as your server hostname. Run this command in order to set the hostname

hostname host.domain.net

Also please make sure to check our existing tutorial on how to install cPanel:

You need to:

  1. Open the file /etc/sysconfig/network and set the HOSTNAME variable to a valid hostname (ex: server.yourdomain.tld)

  2. Run this command as well: hostname server.yourdomain.tld

Rerun the installer
