IP: 69.61.93.19
DOMAIN: tester-gnupanel.com.ar

//Important 03/03/2013 added ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Before we begin, we generate locales

cat /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED > /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local
dpkg-reconfigure locales
echo 'LANG="en_US.ISO-8859-1"' > /etc/default/locale

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

We must first log in as root on the server, create a directory, download and unzip gnupanel inside.

root@vps146167:/# mkdir gnupanel-install
root@vps146167:/# cd gnupanel-install/
root@vps146167:/gnupanel-install# wget http://downloads.geeklab.com.ar/files/gnupanel/gnupanel_lenny_squeeze_precise_0.3.4_R2.tar.bz2
