10. Recently we got too many issue while installing fantastico. Here is one of them. If you get the message“you have not installed fantastico yet” even after installing it then the issue is probably with wget version. Here is the steps to update wget:Login as a root in ssh and fire the following commands:

wget ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/

wget-1.10.2-3.2.1.i386.rpm

chattr -ia /usr/bin/wget

rpm -e wget ;

rpm -ivh --force wget-1.10.2-3.2.1.i386.rpm ;

rpm -qa wget ;

For 64-bit:

Leaving your OS default wget installed and install a fresh copy for

Fantastico at /usr/local/bin/wget

cd /usr/local/bin/
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-latest.tar.gz
tar xfz wget-latest.tar.gz
cd wget-*
./configure
make
make test
make install
cd ../
rm -Rf wget-*

This will install a clean copy of wget on your server at /usr/local/bin/wget
and you will just need to change the path of wget to /usr/local/bin/wget

for the errors in cpanel >> fantastico just run /scripts/makecpphp
and the errors should be gone
