What is Installatron ?

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Installatron is a state-of-the-art auto-installer plugin for the DirectAdmin and cPanel, and Plesk Reloaded server control panels.

Once installed on a DirectAdmin/cPanel/Plesk server, your users are able to install, manage, and upgrade a growing list of web scripts at the click of a button.

Installatron can also be used to install scripts from CLI/shell, allowing newly created hosting accounts to be pre-populated with software. It is also possible to create your own installers and customize the official installers.

How to install Installatron ?

On DirectAdmin Server

Increase the DirectAdmin timeout value:

Login to DirectAdmin using an admin level account.
Click Administrator Settings (available on the Admin Level page).
Change the Timeout (Seconds) value to ‘300′.

Now, to install Instrallatron:

Return to the Admin Level page in DirectAdmin.
Click the Plugin Manager tool.
Copy and paste this URL into the Url field:

http://www.installatron.com/iTron.tar.gz

Enter your DirectAdmin password in the Password: field.
Click Add Plugin.

The installation process can take a while. Do not reclick ‘Add Plugin’.

If you experience any errors, consult the troubleshooting guide.

Installatron is now installed and ready to use.

You will find the “Installatron Admin” tool added to the DirectAdmin Admin Level and Reseller Level pages, and the “Installatron” tool added to all User Level pages.

On cPanel Server

Disable IXED & Enable API
Disable cPanel’s IXED loaders and enable the plugin API:

Click ‘Server Configuration’ in WHM.
Click ‘Tweak Settings’.
In the ‘Software’ section, set ‘Loader to use for internal cPanel PHP’ to None.

The link for Fantastico does not appear in my customer’s CPANELs. What do I do?

Friday, April 20th, 2007

You need to check three things:

* Is there a symbolic link to the fantastico directory in the theme(s) you are using?

To create the symbolic links, run the following command for each theme that needs a link:

Code:
ln -s /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/fantastico /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x

Change “x” at the end of the command to the directory name of the theme you want to add the symbolic link to (monsoon, bluelagoon, etc.)

PLEASE NOTE: Some people have complained recently that the symbolic link to the fantastico directory gets removed every time CPANEL updates itself. This isn’t a problem with Fantastico, this is a problem with CPANEL itself. This has already been submitted as a bug. You can follow its progress here:

http://bugzilla.cpanel.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1220

* Make sure Fantastico is CHECKED (active) in the WHM Feature Manager feature set(s) you need it to be active in. Log into your WHM as root and click on the Feature Manager link and edit sets as needed.
* If you are running CPANEL 10.4.0C150 or later, and Fantastico still doesn’t appear in CPANEL’s own themes (xskin, etc.) please try running this when logged into your server as root via SSH:
Code:
mv /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/fantastico/xskin.html /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x/cells/fantastico.html

If after all this Fantastico is not appearing in your customer’s CPANEL and you are using a custom theme, then try switching at least one account to “x” and see if the Fantastico link appears. If it does, you may be using a theme that does not support Fantastico and you should contact the theme’s creator (but PLEASE make very sure you’ve followed the steps above BEFORE doing so, to help rule out other issues).

I get a parse error on line 89 in Fantastico

Friday, April 20th, 2007

I get a parse error on line 89 in Fantastico that looks similar to:
Quote:
Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/cpanel/base/tmp/username-10170834-22345 on line 89

This problem is due to a bug in some versions of CPANEL. The fix is as folllows:

Go to WHM -> Mysql -> MySQL Root Password
Set a password.

Now log in as root via SSH and view /root/.my.cnf and remove any quotes in that file.

For example, change:
Code:
user=”name”
pass=”blah”

to
Code:
user=name
pass=blah

I receive a WGET error when I try to install or update Fantastico.

Friday, April 20th, 2007

I receive a WGET error when I try to install or update Fantastico.

You have wget permissions set lower than 0700 and Fantastico cannot access it, you need to change the permissions of wget to at least 0700. Make sure you enter the correct path to wget when installing, usually: /usr/bin/wget

Use a REMOTE copy of MYSQL with FANTASTICO

Friday, April 20th, 2007

If you would like to use MySQL running on another server with Fantastico, you will need to edit one file:

– Remote MySQL host / mysql —

- If you use a remote MySQL host,
1) copy the file
fantastico/includes/mysqlconfig.php
to mysqlconfig.local.php
2) in mysqlconfig.local.php edit the line

$MYSQLHOST=”localhost”;

Replace localhost with the IP or hostname of your MySQL server.

3) in mysqlconfig.local.php add

(replace the IP address above with the IP of your server) AFTER the line containing “?>”

How do I UNINSTALL FANTASTICO?

Log into your server via SSH as root and execute the following:
