cPanel, alongside Web Host Manager, enables and makes web hosting accessible for website administrators.
Before moving to install them, there are a few things to be noted. You should only install cPanel and WHM on a freshly installed Operating system. And you must log in as a root or user with root privileges to install cPanel and WHM.
NetworkManager is a daemon that sits on top of libudev and other Linux kernel interfaces. It provides a high-level interface for the configuration of the network interfaces.

How can we solve this issue?
Moving onwards, let you see how to fix this error. To do so, we suggest the steps below.
Step:1
Disable NetworkManager service on CentOS server. To get this, use the below command.
systemctl stop NetworkManager.service
systemctl disable NetworkManager.service
You will get the below output:
[root@server1 home]# systemctl stop NetworkManager.service
[root@server1 home]# systemctl disable NetworkManager.service
Removed symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/NetworkManager.service.
Removed symlink /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service.
Removed symlink /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.nm-dispatcher.service.
Step:2
Then change the "NM_CONTROLLED=no" parameters in each network configuration file under the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory.
Step:3
Run both the commands and then restart the installation of Cpanel.
systemctl enable network.service
systemctl restart network.service
Then, you can install the cPanel on the CentOS server without getting such an error.
