#? 14

The following information has been given:

    India

Therefore TZ=' Asia/Kolkata'  will be used.
Local time is now:    Fri Dec 15 03:42:09 IST 2017.
Universal Time is now:    Thu Dec 14 22:12:09 UTC 2017.
Is the above information OK?
1) Yes
2) No
#? 1

Check the timezone.

You can make this change permanent for yourself by appending the line
    TZ=' Asia/Kolkata'   export TZ
to the file ' .profile'  in your home directory  then log out and log in again.

Here is that TZ value again, this time on standard output so that you
can use the /usr/bin/tzselect command in shell scripts:
Asia/Kolkata

Later, enter the sub domain and Public IP.

=== Informations required to build your server ===
The installer requires 2 pieces of information:
 1) the sub-domain that you want to use to access Sentora panel,
   - do not use your main domain (like domain.com)
   - use a sub-domain, e.g panel.domain.com
   - or use the server hostname, e.g server1.domain.com
   - DNS must already be configured and pointing to the server IP
       for this sub-domain
 2) The public IP of the server.

Enter the sub-domain you want to access Sentora panel: linuxhelp

The public IP of the server is 125.17.109.94. Its local IP is 192.168.7.237
  For a production server, the PUBLIC IP must be used.
Enter (or confirm) the public IP for this server: 125.17.109.94

WARNING: linuxhelp is not a subdomain!
WARNING: linuxhelp is not defined in your DNS!
  You must add records in your DNS manager (and then wait until propagation is done).
  For more information, read the Sentora documentation:
   - http://docs.sentora.org/index.php?node=7 (Installing Sentora)
   - http://docs.sentora.org/index.php?node=51 (Installer questions)
  If this is a production installation, set the DNS up as soon as possible.

Make other needed settings as well.
