Hello,

Current order of projects:

1) admin level backup (reseller backup in the admin section for all users, and easy server-to-server transfers of everything)

2) build script with dovecot

3) build script with php5, suPhp, apache 2 as install time options.

Yup. That's the intention. I'm also going to try and add a simple 1 click server transfer in there (not sure yet).

damn it, I am just migrating servers with the old and painfull method right now :D


good news for the future tough
 
I just wanted to say that these are the 3 biggest options for me to start using DA in place of cPanel. suPHP, backups, apache 2.x, and php 4 OR 5.

I am glad to see these 3 options being worked on. Keep up the good work. I am amazed at how much better this control panel is compared to cPanel and not sure why I didn't find this earlier. The control panel loads as fast as static HTML pages!

+1 customer can choice the langage
 
is there an ETA on no. 3

We are in dire need of the suPHP+PHP4+PHP5 and a Subversion plugin. All with easy user controls
 
still working on #1. No ETA at this time. This upcoming release will likely only have the backup portion of the admin level backups. The restore... knowing which IPs to assign to who, and why, will take more thought. I might just add a "pick you own IP" restore (similar to reseller restore), using the master IP list... it just causes problems for things like... if it's not yet assigned to a Reseller, it can't yet be shared, thus admin's have to setup all the IP's ahead of time, before restoring users...etc..

John
 
probably better to have it make you choose ips like the reseller restore I think. :)
 
we also get into the question.. if the reseller has 5 IPs on the old system.. 4 are unused and free.. will DA give it to them, or will the admin do it. That kind of kills the 1 click transfer idea.

John
 
If the ips are free, allocate them to the admin. He can always free them at a later date for a reseller.

The main concern for the admin is getting the system retored as fast as possible, as easy as possible.

Hello,

with suPHP 0.6.2 it is now possible to run all apache version with PHP4 and PHP5.

As soon as PHP6 is officially released, it will be possible to include it with only 3 lines in all configuration files.

PHP6 must not be like PHP5, included only over 2 years after it is released...

Moreover, it is possible to make tighter security rules based on individual virtualhost.

It is also possible to allocate more or less freedom and ressource to a special user with per-user php.ini customization.

Please this time don't miss the train, and take advantage from the competition :D
 
I like apache 1.3.37 with php 4.4.4 and stability DA/centos 4.4 and exim.
So i need nothing more than today for this case.
I don't want to spend time to debug or whatelse.
Propose all other options as supplement can be a good idea, but stay with stable default.

And before proposing option there is lot of work to have an excellent panel, just look at FeedBack & Feature Requests.
 
Hello,

This thread seems to have died out. I wonder when the mentioned changes will be implemented? I moved my DA server to a new box not too long about (about 2 months) and none of the mentioned options were there in the install.

I suspect most of you are more knowledgeable than I on issues between php4 and phph5. Currently I am the only person on this server using any php - and that is on very simple pages for includes and such only.

That said, there is a php based helpdesk that I am interested in that requires php5 so I would like to see php5 available as at least an option at install time (as well as a built in way to upgrade to php5 on an existing install).

Thanks!

Dale

(hmm... seems the thread hadn't died out - for some reason I didn't initially see any posts past July of 2006)
