CPanel and WHM shows a blank page – Restart CPanel

Server

Restart CPanel and Web Host Manager - WHMSometimes high server loads of different kinds can shutdown various services on your server. Depending on what processor, and memory you have, every server acts differently. If you have a dedicated server or co-located server and is running CPanel, you sometimes come into situations where the server seems to work fine but no one can login to CPanel nor WHM and all it just shows is a blank page.

Doing hard reboot on the server may help and also depends if your data center offers some reboot facility for you. but doing this all the time may not be the best way to fix the problem if the only problem is CPanel and the Web Host Manager are not working and only show a blank page and the rest of the server still works perfectly. It’s probably best to simply restart CPanel only.

We assume you are a dedicated server owner or co-located server owner running a server with CPanel, so again, we assume you have shell access. So login to your server by SSH, and I do assume you have an SSH software of course. If not and you are using a Windows machine, Putty works fine. Login as root to your server and simply run this:

/etc/init.d/cpanel restart

And it will restart all your CPanel related services and simply wait until it’s done.
