DA wishlist for next 4 months

* Tight cp and gui integration of exim/clam/sa/SpamBlocker on at least a per domain basis.

* Implement AWstats once and for all. I know nobdy wants to have to replace webalizer since you have clients using it, but give the user the ability to choose one or the other. I would not want a user using the resources of 2 stats programs at the same time.

* Give us a cp implementation (especially resellers) with the ability to change the header and footer of the skins.

Ability for admin and reseller to add links(w images) to enhanced skin to any section of the skin you want. Something like Plesk RV Skin.

* external dns integration(like cpanel)

* JailShell I keep hearing it's done but nobody is testing it.



Am I asking too much? :)

After that multiserver setup.
EMAIL USER PANEL. They tell me not many have requested this, I really find it hard to believe. Who would not want such a feature?
 
CP upgrades

I would also like to request the ability to symlink the private to public folder from the cpanel.

This topic seems to be very popular lately and would be appreciated by many.

Actually I believe the folders should come symlinked with the ability to create a private folder if needed.

Just my two cents.

Why symlink it at all. This just confuses customers. The option should add or remove the folder and everything that correlates to doing this. Very simple and less cluttered.
 
symlink feature

Actually you have a very good point.

The best option (in my opinion) would be for the server to default with all files in the public_html folder with the ability to add the private_html folder with needed links if needed by the user from the user panel.

I know of very few people who need or use the private folder as set up now. In most cases it causes headaches.

Either way I would be one happy camper to have a simple fix to this problem. Looking forward to this option if the Admins agree.
Looks like there is enough interest from users for this to be considered.

Joe there is a simple fix for this now. There is just no admin/user option in the GUI.
 
Fix for private to Public folder

Great...is this something you can share that can be done by me (the end user). I understand I will need some additional access (SSH).
I would only do this on a new server so as not to crash any of my existing sites but need some more guidance.

I have a few more stores to build and do not want to have to put up dual folders anymore...too cumbersome.


Thanks for any help.

Unfortunately what I posted can't be done without root access. And this is more for when accounts are created so you don't have to go in and edit every site you setup.

But here it is:

Step 1 from SSH:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates
cp virtual_host_secure.conf custom
cd custom
pico virtual_host_secure.conf
Change the private_html to public_html save and exit

Step 2 from SSH:
code:echo "action=rewrite&value=httpd" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

(This removes any existing private_html folders)

Step 3 from SSH:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/custom/

pico domain_create_post.sh

paste the following code in:

####################################
#!/bin/sh
#
# domain_create_post.sh - Runs AFTER a domain is created
#
# Remove private_html folder from user/domain directory.
#
rm -R -f /home/${username}/domains/${domain}/private_html
#####################################

save and exit.

chmod 700 domain_create_post.sh

Done.

test an account.


Thes best you can do without root access is to a. ask your provider to do this for you. b. ask Directadmin to incorporate this feature into the next update or two(john said he would consider it and it shouldn't be too hard to do).
