hi,
would like to have ehcp running php as fcgi to avoid problems with uid-gid for users with some aplications.

For all, following is important:

Those combinations should be installable easily via apt-get or alike, without need of (much) manual operation.
Otherwise, it is quite difficult to implement it..

An inclusion of apache's ability to have custom error documents for each site would be great!

I have seen this done with an error directory in the httpdocs directory with another hosting control panel.

link to the apache documentation for this is here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/custom-error.html

I am a template designer, I'm creating a new template design for my hosting site, while looking through the code I noticed the forms that view the database fields are hard coded into classapp.php. I realize it is faster the way you have it but my request is to move these into a templates dir for better customization. Great work!

Hi,
you have some interesting ideas.
I want to say generally: ehcp works tightly with ubuntu/debian system, in terms of software installation, configuration and update. In principle, i did almost nothing manual while installing, used mostly apt-get installation mechanism. As you expect, the results of this principle is this:

* any user gets latest server software (apache, dns, ftp and so on) on his/her server, even if a 6 months old ehcp is installed, for example. becaue, ehcp uses apt-get update and apt-get install, in ehcp installer.
This is a very basic/big difference between other panels (such as ISPConfig) and ehcp. Some other panels release a newer version, whenever a new php is released for example..
I think this explains somewhat your question..
(ubuntu softwares only may get very little (minor version) back of original softwares until a package for it releases. this generally takes very little time. this is done by ubuntu guys)

* Another result: users may update their system easily with apt-get update&apt-get upgrade command. Programmatically, it is a single php command.. But this is a kind of sensitive or dangerous task. maybe not easy to implement in gui, with single click. Because, some upgrade operations may change some sensitive parts of system, and if performed in gui, this may not be recognised. So, this update of software should be performed in console, manually, by server owner... This is what I think now, but we may figure it out in future, we may overcome that sensitive case.

In principle, I try to not change default configurations, as much as possible, since I try to reduce programming tasks and keep system most original. ehcp actually installs necessary software, makes some little configurations in installer and configures system (with normal system configuration files such as /etc/.../default and others..) This resembles what you suggest "pre-configured.". If you think some points of ehcp installer may be more "pre configured" let me know. I am trying to be very open to ideas, suggestions and critics...

* Being light: I tested and recorded new server before and after ehcp installation, I will post full result here, in general, after installation, ehcp core is as low as 40MB ram, other parts is apache, dns, and mysql. Normally, the total of all server software (apahe, dns, mysql, ftp, postfix) is 500MB ram. That maybe because of default instllation of server software, maybe controls the total ram and configures something higher.. I made some modifications in apache config and reduced that size to 206MB.

* Apache: I thought to use another web server such as lighthttpd or some other. I checked one and found to be non-gpl. I remain now on apache to be most conformant, confortable and for general use. Since apache is most generally used, I had choosed this and uses this. But as I mentioned, actually apache is eats much of memory. So, we may consider something newer in future. I am open to this too; needs some coding... current ehcp code tightly works with apache configuration files; functional, may be re-coded by re-implementing a few functions.


In general, I try to keep following principles an try to keep a balance between them:
* easy usage, easy installation, easy programming
* use system installation functions (apt-get)
* keep default config as much as possible
* little code, fast system
* use most generally used software
* integrated web server system

The result of these principle as I mentioned before:
* ui of ehcp; single file installer, installs everything within it; single class file, well commented, structural.. et...
* uses apt-get, hence, latest software, easy to upgrade,
* this is to lower coding overhead, to keep system untouched, standard
* very little code for each functions.. look at classapp.php. some features implemented in a few lines of php code.
* apache, bind, postfix, mysql, php etc.
* ehcp integrates everything using php around mysql db.

Say I wanted to add my company logo to the Ehcp control panel, without editing the classapp.php. Wouldn't that be useful for small hosting businesses? If you still want it to show the fact that it is Ehcp, you can have a logo at the bottom that says "easy hosting control panel."

I accedently upgraded ubuntu and Vsftp stopped to work.

After a couple of hours i decided to restore my server from an older snapshot.
I´ve copied all my folders from /home/vmail to my local computer. I had to change permissions on the files to copy them.

After i restored my server i copied all the files to the same folders as before, then the server lost connection to Imap an crashed.

Anyone who konws how i can restore my "old" e-mails?

Google won't tell me

Hi I am Having tremendous problems with spam and viruses

I have installed
clamAV
SpamAssassin
and now MailScanner

I still Cannot get rid of the Spam and viruses

I some how think that the Mailscanner / Spamassassin is not working correctly

I think my error may be in the MailScanner.config setup, I refer to two entries here
Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/mqueue ( does not exist )
changed to
Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/postfix/incoming

and
Outgoing Queue Dir = /var/spool/mqueue ( does not exist )
changed to
Outgoing Queue Dir = /var/spool/postfix/maildrop

but I am still getting spam / viruses
the tail
tail -f /var/log/mail.log
seems to indicate it is doing something, here is a sample
" Jul 15 10:39:02 jor60-nix01 postfix/qmgr[3386]: 81FF84539C: removed "
but spam /virus are still coming down

Currently I am Using
sudo clamscan -r / --remove
which clears the server but does not last long

Does ANYBODY have any advice ?

Thanks in advance
Andy
