Sometimes you get the below error while installing cPanel
(FATAL): The installation process was unable to synchronize cPanel & WHM. Verify that your network can connect to httpupdate.cpanel.net and rerun the installer.
To fix this
1. Check your resolv.conf file and make sure that you have internet.
vi /etc/resolv.conf
2. Stop the firewall temporarily
Stop CSF:
csf -x
Stop IPTables:
service iptables stop
3. Make sure that there are no incomplete transactions in yum, run the below command to complete any leftover YUM transactions
yum-complete-transaction
4. Now start the cPanel installation again and it should not give any errors this time.
