cPanel and WHM Installation issue on openVZ VPS

[santosh]

Whenever, you are getting the following error while installing the cPanel/WHM on the openvz VM:

2018-08-22 03:27:32 576 ( INFO): Checking for essential system files...
2018-08-22 03:27:32 579 (ERROR): Your system is missing the file /etc/fstab. This is an
2018-08-22 03:27:32 580 (ERROR): essential system file that is part of the base system.
2018-08-22 03:27:32 581 (FATAL): Please ensure the system has been properly installed.

Then, the issue seems to be the /etc/fstab file is missing, it should exist by default on the minimal installation of CentOS 7. If not, then you will need to create it using following commands so that you can proceed with the installation without any issue:

```
touch /etc/fstab
chmod 0640 /etc/fstab
```

Thank you.
