UPDATED INSTRUCTIONS!
(July 23, 2008) ATTENTION USERS OF Fedora Core 5.x or 6.x or CentOS 5.x or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x!If you have any of the above mentioned OSes installed then you have a version of wget that does not work properly. Before installing Fantastico you
must replace the buggy version of wget that ships with your OS or Fantastico will not install (
you will finish the installation process and Fantastico will tell you that you need to install again). After you fix this you can continue with the installation process:
http://netenberg.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5430If you have some other OS installed on your server you do not need to do this and can continue with the standard installation directions below.SSH to your server(s) and enter following commands:
cd /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi
wget -N http://files.betaservant.com/files/free/fantastico_whm_admin.tgz
tar -xzpf fantastico_whm_admin.tgz
rm -rf fantastico_whm_admin.tgz
NOTE: if you have problems contacting this server, please try this alternate location:
wget -N
http://netenberg.com/files/free/fantastico_whm_admin.tgzGo to WHM, login as root and click on Tweak Settings, then you should ensure that both the Ioncube loader is selected for the backend copy of PHP. Save changes.
Now go here:
WHM -> Add-Ons (Plugins on v11.x or higher) -> Fantastico De Luxe WHM Admin (scroll down the left menu).
Upon loading, Fantastico De Luxe WHM Admin will auto-update your existing installation (if existing). All admin files (masterfiles, tarballs, settings etc) will be moved to or created at /var/netenberg.
---
After the installation is complete, click on "Settings" and go through the settings. While some settings are not important, some other (marked below with an *) are essential for a proper functioning of Fantastico installations.
Language: Select the language for the admin backend AND default language for users without a language selected.
Email notifications: Enter an email address in order to receive notifications when users perform installations using Fantastico.
Master files settings (*): If you are not an advanced user who modifies the master files, leave this to "Remove". Change this only if you know what you are doing
PHPsuexec (*): VERY ESSENTIAL!!! Changing this value will not install or de-install phpsuexec for you. It will only tell Fantastico that you have phpsuexec installed or not installed on your server. Change to "installed" if you perform installations which produce an "Internal Server Error". Notice: Changes will not apply to existing installations! You have to re-install in order to have working installations.
Path to netPBM: Enter the full path to the netPBM binaries in order to enable Gallery installations. As long as this field has no value, your users will not be able to install Gallery.
Select Fantastico licensing and files server: If the Fantastico pages take long to load switch to the server that works best for you. Fantastico will auto-switch if connections time out.
Update preference: Select latest version (sometimes experimental) or stable version (best working).
Remote MySQL serverOpen the file
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/fantastico/includes/mysqlconfig.php
and follow the instructions.
