Fatal Perl must be installed before proceeding

 
FIX:

The error shows that perl package is not installed on your linux server and it is required for installing cPanel. When you run the cPanel installation script perl package will be automatically installed. Try manualling installing the perl package using yum. Command : yum install perl

I tried installing perl package using yum but it shows error “No package perl available”. I checked the repositories in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and all repositories are enabled. You will get this error if you have added perl in yum exclude list.

Open /etc/yum.conf using vi editor and remove perl from the “exclude=” line. Save the file and exit

Now try running the cPanel script and perl will be downloaded and installed. Install script already contain the command “yum -y install perl”.

If you’re still getting any error then try installing perl first using yum and then run the cPanel install script. Command : yum install perl
