[PLUGIN] Softaculous for Direct Admin

Hi,

The Softaculous Team has released Softaculous 1.9
This version fixes some bugs and adds lots of functionality to softaculous.
Softaculous can now IMPORT/SYNC with other auto installers data making compatible on many more Servers. At present only fantasticos data is imported/synchronized.

Hey thats a good feature, but thats not all !
Out of all the 100 scripts Softaculous Installs, all of them can be Imported into Softaculous (if they were not installed using Softaculous) so that Softaculous can maintain them in the Future.

A list of all changes:
1) Importing Data from Fantastico, at present 31 scripts that are common in Softaculous and Fantastico can be imported.

2) Import any of the 100 scripts that Softaculous didnt install

3) Direct Admn Logout Bug - a trailing '/' at the end didnt Logout. This has been fixed

4) softaculous.cpanelplugin file that controls the Softaculous icon in cPanel has been revised and all 'Carriage Return' (CR) have been removed. The CR caused the error of wrong location of the Softaculous Icon in cPanel

5) On certain Direct Admin Servers (not cpanel) certain users complained of public_html directories were deleted. This was not a Softaculous bug but rather an ionCube Bug. A simple RECOMPILE of the file solved the bug

6) There was a lot of Grammatical errors of Software being mispelled as Softwares. This has been corrected.

7) News/Analysis for the End Users have been introduced. In this Software Vendors will annouce their news and we will also conduct timely Analysis of the Best Software in a Particular Category. (Anyone interested in writing Articles then please contact us)

8) Softaculous showed the wrong amount of Disk Space left in cPanel. This was because of the shift to the new cPanel API and its now corrected.

9) Better Integration Capabilities which will allow to Softaculous to Integrate Effortlessly with other Control Panels. Soon Softaculous will be available in other Control Panels.

10) The Ratings and Demos Tab in each Software will now Open in a new Browser Tab/Window.

We have already UPDATED all the 100 scripts with the new IMPORT API and most of the servers will already be having the latest files.
Softaculous has become much more competitive and will soon be seen in other Control Panels like Plesk, Kloxo, Enkompass etc.

The Softaculous Team
 
i have this error:

Unable to execute your request

Details

The requested file does not have read or execute permissions
 
Sir just CHMOD RECURSIVE(meaning all files and subfolders as well) the following directory to 0755:
/usr/local/directadmin/plugins/softaculous
 
First of all great initiative to make the script available for free.

I would like to know the following:

Some scripts require safe_mode off (and sometimes adjustments to the open_basedir).

How does softaculous handles these security settings?
 
Hi,

I try to install this great plugins.
I have 2 problems :

- From Admin level, impossible to modify settings : I want to change language, and add email
The software writes "The settings were saved successfully"
But nothing is done.

- From User Level : when I want to install a CMS like wordpress, I can't choose a domain, it's empty.

What I try, reading all the post
=> chmod 755 recursively
=> chown -R diradmin:diradmin /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/softaculous

But no change.

Thanks for your help, and what a great plusgins !! :)
 
The settings are not saved becoz in Direct Admin PHP runs as the user and not Root for the admin. So you will have to chmod the universal.php to 0777:
/usr/local/directadmin/plugins/softaculous/images/universal.php

Sir please post for a support request about the domain list not working at softaculous.com
 
Yeah my domain list was empty too. Thats why im not using it now :(
 
safe_mode handling??

I would like to know the following:

Some scripts require safe_mode off (and sometimes adjustments to the open_basedir).

How does softaculous handles these security settings?

Once again.. thank you for this GREAT plugin. keep going and don't give up.
 
How do I uninstall this script? I was trying to test it out with the possibility of installing it on two dedicated servers. However none of the scripts seem to work. I always get "The INFO.XML file could not be found! Please report this to the Server Admin."

I have done these and still get the same response.
chown -R diradmin:diradmin /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/softaculous

chmod 0777 /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/softaculous/images/universal.php

mirage running this command will simply make things work properly:
php /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/softaculous/cron.php

You didnt let the Installation take place and hence no Script file was downloaded!
 
Thanks for the response. After I run the cron, I don't see anything happening in SSH but it returns to the command line. When I go on the web and click on the software and click update settings:
I get a bunch of these, on and on:
"Updating Files
Zikula
Software not found.....Needs Update
Deleting previous files......
Fetching Latest File......Could not SAVE latest file......Continuing

AEF
Software not found.....Needs Update
Deleting previous files......
Fetching Latest File......Could not SAVE latest file......Continuing" etc.

The original fatal error "The INFO.XML file could not be found! Please report this to the Server Admin" still occurs.

Question: Where is it supposed to be saving the scripts before installing? I see that a /var/softaculous was created but there is nothing in it. Who is supposed to own this folder?
 
slight and mirage, post your problem on their forum, they will send you a file to solve the problem.

They answer to me, in less than 24h. So now, I can enjoy their plugin !
 
Hi,

The Softaculous Team has released Softaculous 2.0 .
This version adds lots of new features to Softaculous and fixes some bugs.
A user can now RATE, REVIEW and VIEW DEMOS from within the Softaculous Panel itself without ever leaving the Control panel.

Here is a list of full changes:
1) Rate for the Scripts from within the Softaculous Panel. You can also edit your Ratings for a particular script anytime in the future.

2) Review for the Scripts from within the Softaculous Panel. Again you can change the review anytime in the Future.

3) See the demos of all scripts from within the Softaculous Panel. Users will not need to leave your Contol Panel in anyways.

4) Random Password Generation Script is also introduced in this version.

5) Upgradation Option / Icon will now also be available in All Installations Page.

6) French Language is now available in Softaculous.

7) The Admin can now specify the CHMOD valuse for Files and Directories if Softaculous is unable to detect suPHP.

8) The Admin can now choose whether the Server is a VPS or not. This information will be sychronized with the Softaculous Servers.

9) The Direct Admin SSL bug which caused an empty domain list is now fixed in 2.0.

We hope you like this version and users will love the inbuilt RATING, REVIEW and DEMOS.

The Softaculous Team
