[RELEASE] Installatron (DirectAdmin auto script installer)

PHP-Nuke has been on that licensing system for a long time. :)

The newest version is always "pay", but it becomes free when the next version is released. So 7.5 has been free for as long as 7.6 has been available, and 7.6 will become free when he releases 7.7.

I suppose it's lame if you believe everything should be free.

Personally, I realize the value in code and I'm willing to buy it if I need it.

And I'm willing to sell code as well.

Jeff, I have NO problem paying for coding... but charging for a version that you may be giving away at no charge tomorrow IS lame.
 
php-nuke is free either way (regardless of whether the author says it is free), it can be freely distributed under the GPL. so you can get the latest copy, usually from NukeScripts (and nukescripts usually includes the latest patches as well, for security)
 
Current thinking is wednesday/thursday, but we keep getting requests for extra features so it's taking longer than expected. Couldn't give a solid date.

Hi Phi1

Ioncube has released a new loader for php5 , do you perhabs know, if they've fixed the following problem.

This part troubles me: Call to a member function query() on a non-object in /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/iTron/sources/misc.php on line 22.

Fabrizio,

Though not solely an ionCube issue, I believe the fatal error to be an issue with their decoders. I will contact them and see if they have heard of any issues with PHP 5. As for the other minor errors, they will be fixed in the next release of Installatron. However, before release, I will ask for server login information again to make sure all is 100% working. :)

I don't want to update to php5 on this production server before beeing sure about this.

Another question in your FAQ I've seen that it isn't possible to run suPHP on a DA with installatron. But it shouln't it be possible to add suPHP to the client/vhost httpd daemon, because directadmin daemon has his own httpd daemon for running the control panel. These are completely different configurations and that shouldn't cause any problems, because da still works without suphp if you only add suphp to the main httpd daemon configuration. Please correct me if I'm completely wrong.

Kind Regards
Fabrizio
 
Hello,

According to ionCube, this problem was fixed. I wouldn't suggest upgrading a production server yet though. Installatron has had very little testing under PHP5.

As for SuPHP, you're more than welcome to give SuPHP a shot, but from our tests we've ran into permission problems with SuPHP and DA plugins.

Thanks, Phil.

Ok, I'll give suPHP a try. Do you still know what the problems were with suPHP and the DA plugins? Couldn't DA install new plugins or was the problem with executing the plugins? So I could check these problems.

Fabrizio
 
how about phpBB ... or are you waiting for their releases to calm down ? :) (heh, that may NEVER happen given their track record lately)
 
We're getting A LOT of:

Error: No License

Installatron is unable retrieve a license. The Installatron licensing server may be temporarily offline, or your server is unable to ping the licensing server (make sure you can ping files.installatron.com from your server).

Click here to try to retrieve a license again.


Are you guys having issues today?
 
No, the server is running at 100%. Are you able to ping 70.85.24.196 from your servers?

What are the IPs of your servers?

I have running my server with suPHP and also with installatron and installatron works without any problems. Could you tell me what your problems were with installatron and suPHP so I could also check for that on mine server. I tested to install a few scripts and all went fine.

Hello,

When the Installatron plugin was installed under SuPHP, we would get this error:
Security Alert! The PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly.
Click to expand...
We narrowed the problem down to a "--enable-force-cgi-redirect" flag in PHP's /configure, but the client we were working with at the time would not remove this flag.

If you don't mind me asking, what /configure are you using with PHP?

Thanks. Phil.

Joe,

That trace looks fine. Are you still experiencing problems on any of your servers?

Thanks, Phil.
 
We do keep a log of current version numbers for all scripts, but we have some rules about what version we support in Installatron:

. We wait two weeks after the initial release to allow for bug fixes (which occur in the majority of releases). This wait period is usually shortened if the new version is a critical exploit fix -- the wait might be shortened to 3-7 days, depending on the script and the nature of the exploit.

. We only support stable versions. So if they keep releasing new versions every week, we won't upgrade the itron installer until they find some stability.

. We won't support new versions that have problems. We monitor the forums (of the script) after a new version is released to see what sort of stability it has and how many bugs are being reported.

--

CS Live Help is about ready for writing an upgrader for the next version, which I will do today if they haven't released another version in the last two weeks.

Simple Machines Forum is way overdue now, but the (frustrating) way they've chosen to package their releases means that we need to add a new feature to iTron in order to support upgrading -- this new feature (and when I say 'feature' I actually mean a complete rewrite of the archiving/cache/upgrading system) will be in the next version of iTron.

phpBB has a critical release out, and I have already written the upgrader for it, but their sourceguardian mirrors haven't been working for 3-4 days so I'm waiting for them to sort that out.

phplist and cubecart are both reaching their two week grace in the coming days, and they'll get upgraders if new versions haven't been released in the interim.

Hope that explains things a bit. :)
