[RELEASE] Installatron (DirectAdmin auto script installer)

I deleted all files and reinstalled with the newest installatron.sh. When I went to it, it was a blank page.

I created an admin called admin and reinstalled using this username/password and now it shows.

The link to update software.dat only shows for the user admin.

It doesn't seem to accept other admins.
 
admin ??

When I try to install it says "no usable domains".

Maybe I'm just ignorrant or this hasn't been properly described. The "admin" user that you are speaking of as being the only user that can run this is where?

For clarity lets speak in terms of what DirectAdmin has named different levels of user.

Is this "admin" user an Admin, a Reseller, or a User?

My "admin" is an Admin level user. If the "admin" user required to run this is supposed to be the User of a domain then I guess that this will only work on one domain as it is? If that's the case I can see why you are trying to be able to choose the user that you want to do the install as.

Please clarify. And thanks.:(
 
so I log in a another user. everything looks cool. I assume that I shouldn't put anything in the directory field when I try to install. It says it installs fine. But then there is nothing. No page made nothing under that domain that has anything to do with coranto.

What gives?

Do I need put the other username in when running installatron.sh?

:confused:
 
I have looked into this some, and apparently, *any* administrative user can access *any* account on a box. This means it doesn't matter which administrative user you set Installatron up on, all that matters is that the information is valid :)

When installing an application, however, I do no recommend installing on the root of any domain. For the next version of iTron, I'm going to be implementing a little fix for this.
 
yeah but...

where is coranto? It is nowhere? I updated my locate database and searched for coranto.cgi and nothing. :confused:

Am I the only one trying this with FreeBSD or has someone got it working already that could share their experience?

Lots o' questions huh? :D

I'm just really excited about installatron. I think it's awesome!!! If I could just get it working ;)
 
Everything was running great, but tonight I upgraded and now I just get a blank white page. :(

I've read through the thread and tried the couple of things others did, but nothing worked.

Hope someone else has an idea.

I'm confused too :) You're saying Coranto is not showing up any longer on the applications list?

Under what URI? /HTM_XSERV? Hmm.. you didn't rerun the skin mods, did you? :)

Not really sure why it'd throw a completely white page. Doesn't sound easily possible.


Quick note to everyone, make *sure* you rm installatron.sh and, if you're upgrading from an older version, to rm the tar.gz file your /usr/local/directadmin directory. We don't want to install iTron with mismatched files.

If the skin mods worked before, there is no reason why they wouldn't work now, but to uninstall the rest:

rm -fr /usr/local/directadmin/xserv /usr/local/directadmin/itron_*.tar.gz

Then just follow my instructions in my original post. :)
 
I just got my dedicated server :D

I installed iTron, looks fantastic... only I'm getting the 'no useable domains' error. I'm using the latest iTron and the latest DA versions. I even tried adding a second domain to the user's account to see if that would work... no effect :(

I'm using RedHat 9.

Thanks,
Matt :)
 
Well, it's only March, but I vote l0rdphi1 as MEMBER OF THE YEAR!

I second the motion! This is a huge feature to add to the Direct Admin community. And the potential for growth of Installatron is... well... a bit scary! (in a good way ;) ) Now if we could only put you to work on getting that damn FrontPage crap to work! Now THAT would be worth some $$$. Becuase I'm losing customers as I type because I can't get it to work. But that's beside the point.

Which is l0rdphi1 rocks! Extensis is running a close second with his work on FreeBSD docs. ;)
 
Hey guys. I'm phi1's business partner (ie. the non-coder half) and I just thought I'd let you know what we're looking at with regards to cost.

When we started, I think we had in mind a pretty low licensing price (maybe even just donationware), but a month later we have a much more realistic view of what it's going to take to keep this up-to-date, and to manage the high amount of support this script is likely to generate.

So we've settled on a pricing system that we hope is reasonable, and that will help us keep it maintained at the level it really needs.

We're looking at $30 per license for the first 5 licenses, and then $20 per license thereafter. A license is for a single server and for a year. And the renewal amount would be $20 per license for another year. Of course, updates, upgrades, and script-requests will be free.

So on a server of about 60 users, that's something like 1cent per user per day.

Something I'd like to ask while I'm here: can anyone recommend any scripts we might look at adding? I've been pouring over webpage after webpage looking at thousands of web scripts, but it's difficult to know which ones to pick. Which of the million or so FAQ scripts is the best? What is the best calendar script?

The v1.0 script list will look something like this:

Invision Board
phpBB2
b2evolution
Pivot
Movable Type Coranto
Drupal
PHP-Nuke
Xoops
Post-Nuke
Gallery

Give or take one or two. Those are all good scripts that we know about and would personally recommend to some degree.

Script suggestions welcome.

Row.

cool!

That looks great! One of the biggest issues I've noticed on the forum here is mailing lists. Majordomo is just... well... not for everyone. This may be a bit out of the scope of the scripts that you've been installing so far but I truly think that a Mailman installer would be VERY VERY nice.

My $.02 :D

And the license fee seems quite fair.
 
Guys, this guy is a friend of mine, and he's worked VERY hard on some of these scripts (ok, all of them) to make sure they're fully compatible with DA...

The formmailer is VERY secure, hasn't been exploited yet, and his CMS is kick@$$ ... CMS4 - which I'm beta testing now, is rock solid, has a great mailing list in it, and is due out shortly.

http://scripts.dbmasters.net/

Check it out - be great to include some of those.

I'd pay for Installatron without doubt.

How about adding some kinda of e-commerce software, like Miva? I have no experience in Miva or similar, but it seems popular with other hosts.

How about a counter script? Not for stats analysis, just to show the number of vistors on a page. It's horrible from a design point of view, but some users insist on it.

Thanks,
Matt :)

Ahhggg!!! nooo please!! Miva is proprietary controlling expensive and constraining. OSCommerce has been working very well and it's so easy to install that I'm sure it wouldn't be much to add it to installatron. It's also open source and free. :)
