    Ok, i will try to help here - Did you set up custom name servers? For me when. I did this I was able to access domain.com/whm, as well as domain.com:2087

    Root works fine for me

    Custom nameservers aren't required in order to get DNS working - DNS can be hosted remotely and the cPanel and WHM access pages will work just fine.

    Since you are able to get to domain.com:2083, that tells me the DNS is working properly.  However, you would access that page with the cPanel username and password.  For root access to the server, you would access domain.com:2087 and login with the root username and password there.

    Let me know if that helps!

    I can SSH using the root credentials. I can also log in to WHM using the same credentials at https://serverip:2087. However, with the same credentials, I am unable to log in at https://domainname:2087. I can provide the exact IP address and/or domain name if needed.

    I installed the cPanel via the command available on the official installation page. The installation was successful. As mentioned earlier, I can log in to WHM at least using the server IP. May I know what the username and password are for the cPanel login at https://serverip:2083? Is there a default username and password? Or do we need to create a cPanel account after logging in to the WHM?

    Correct - you would need to create a cPanel account through WHM >> Create a New Account before you can log into cPanel at all.
