How to change Cyberpanel Port

CyberPanel is a popular open-source control panel used for web hosting. It relies on the OpenLiteSpeed web server.

We can also opt to use a Commercial LiteSpeed web server with CyberPanel.

Let’s take a quick look at how to change the SSH port on the CyberPanel server:

1. First, log in to CyberPanel, then head to Secure SSH under Security.
2. Then, we can change the SSH port in the left side menu.
3. After changing the port, remember to click the Save Changes button.

According to our experts, changing the SSH port can stop the Web Terminal feature from working. We can easily fix this with these steps:

1. First, we have to open the CPWEbSocket file at /usr/local/CyberCP/WebTerminal/CPWebSocket.py.
2. Then, locate the following line:

   DEFAULT_PORT = 22M

   and replace it with

   DEFAULT_PORT = xxxx

   Remember to replace xxx with our actual port number.
3. Now, it is time to restart CyberPanel. So we have to first find the process with this command:

   ps aux | grep CPWebSocket
4. Then kill the process with this command:

   kill -9 PID

   where PID is the process ID.

   Once we kill the process, it will automatically restart with a custom SSH port.

After the above steps, the Web Terminal will start working again.
