Greetings,

I am trying to install Cpanel to my new EC2 VPS but while installing I am getting this error
Unknown distro at /home/cPanelInstall/selfgz3457/Installer.pm line 35

Any kind of help please, as I can't start running my websites

Thanks.

Which operating system you have installed on your EC2 instance?

Please refer to the steps to use the Amazon Web Services™ (AWS) cloud service and the cPanel & WHM Amazon Machine Image™ (AMI) to build a production hosting environment.

As usual, @kodeslogic is correct. You have to use the cPanel AMI in order to properly get things working on AWS. You can't use the more traditional method of installing the server and then installing and configuring cPanel.
