1 The yum package MUST be installed
before installing, the installer will not run without it. (centos/rhel/fedora/RH)

2 Add the line: “exclude=dev*
udev* spamassassin* httpd* mod_ssl* perl* mysql* php* kernel*”

 to /etc/yum.conf

3 Run rpm -qa and look for any
entries beginning with “httpd” “mod_ssl” “mysql”
“openldap” (if you wish to install openldap, you can install
it later, installing it at this time, will cause problems with exim) &
“php” and then use rpm -e to remove them (and all their dependencies).

4 RPMs that conflict with the
cpanel services can be set to not install by editing /vz/template/distroname/distroversion/config/ostemplate.list

5 It is of extreme usefulness
to add sshd to ON_SERVICES in /vz/template/centos/4/config/install-post
