cpanel

I've built a Cent OS 6.0 vps and then i've installed the latest cPanel/WHM.

This isn't my first installation but i've noticed something weird especially that i've never used the 6.0 version.. when i tried to install cPanel, it didn't recognize wget so installed it, then cPanel said that Perl isn't installed, i've installed that and the installation went well since then.

Now, when i've tried to access the server via the browser with the IP Adress as i've used to, it didn't work, it was just loading forever, i tried the 2087 port, still the same. but SSH works.

I've also tried the commands to start the server manually but none of them worked.

How to fix that?
