I don’t know whether it is a bug or a feature. However, as this is unexpected, undoubtedly it is bug.
The problem is that, when you try to login to cpanel’s domain owner interface (2082, 2083), if you provide a password that matches root password, it will give you root access even though you did not [...]

Finally they did it. DNS zone editing was a long waited feature for cPanel. A big portion of their customers were looking for such feature for a quite long time.
Recently I need it so badly that I started learning Perl. However, I won’t need to make it anymore.
It currently allows creating/deleting A and [...]

I could not (or did not) write blog when I have joined Athena Software Associates Ltd. But today I am writing as double update. I have joined in Athena Software Associates Ltd. as System Administrator in last May. I had to manage a number of their servers mostly using cPanel and providing system level supports [...]

Today, I faced a situation where I need to show single webmail application to cPanel control panel user. Usually there are three (3) webmail clients. These are horde, squirrel mail, roundcube. However, I was advised to make sure that a specific customer does not see more than one specified. I suggested, ‘Enable Autoload’ feature which [...]

It is long time since I have worked with cPanel. My last work was cPanel Email Management  script that enables us to create/delete email accounts from outside of cPanel.

Yesterday I have got the mail from cPanel about some changes in cPanel. Though the changes were applied in CURRENT & EDGE tree, yesterday they entered into RELEASE tree. As I use RELEASE tree I have immediately updated the cPanel’s version. I have monitored the server almost whole day.
They claimed they have released the [...]

Today my client was facing problem to setup a remote mysql connection. He wanted to connect a database which belongs to another server and domain. Its fairly simple. But most of the tasks remains on the remote server.

Do you get the following error message when you try to visit a site/your site?
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I am a regular user of WHM & cPanel. Recently I found a bug in cPanel Release Build 20683 which is now running in three of our servers.

You login to WHM. Then Click List Accounts. Your hosted domains will be listed. You should noticed that there is an quick password and email changer from some recent builds. To change password and/or contact address of any domain, there is + following by the domain name. Now you click on the + icon for a domain. You will see the password of that domain is shown in the contact address box.

Ahh! Thanks Allmighty. At last I have finished the 1st version of cPanel Email Management Script. From three days I am working on it. Though today, I mistakenly deleted two core files . So I had to start over.
Using this scripts anyone can give free email service to his visitors. Users can auto signup and manage their accounts. Admin also have some controls. The features are:

• Users can registers themselves without intervention of site Admin
• Admin can specify the quota for accounts
• It can check whether the email address is already taken or not

I am using cPanel for more about 4 years. I wonder, how many features I did not know about until I read the book cPanel User Guide and Tutorial written by Aric Pedersen, working as System Administrator for Netenberg.com and several other companies.

Managing a remote web server is never an easy game. I know many people who are not familiar with non-windows operating systems hence don’t wanna buy dedicated server as it takes much time to learn and managing server is bogey job for many. But now I believe the book titled “Web Host Manager” by Aric Pedersen should be the greatest gift of 2007 (as I reviewed it this year).

Class :: cPanel Subdomain V2

This is the 2nd edition of my previous Class cPanel Subdomains Creator. Using this script you can create cPanel subdomain & FTP account for this subdomain without logging into cPanel. Let your user create their own subdomains and FTP accounts for that subdomain. Users will get access only to newly created subdomain not to the root directory. So your contents will be secure.

To use this script you must have access to cPanel.

Open exaple.php file and change the red marked values as your environment.

Create e-mail addresses for cPanel accounts

This is a simple class that can be used create e-mail addresses for domains hosted using a cPanel account.

It extends a script originally made available in the zubrag.com Web site.

The class accesses a cPanel Web server and sends a command to create an e-mail account with a given address, password and quota.

The class retrieves and process the cPanel server response to determine whether the account creation was successful or it could not be created when the account already exists.
