Softaculous


Topic : Variables not being populated


Posted By: ahost on May 24, 2009, 7:00 am
Hi,

On my new servers Softaculous (userend part) wont run as its suposed to, because the variables isnt populated.
The problem is that in some cases, scripts, running /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x3 (softaculous symlink is located in here), wont use CPanels PHP, but servers main PHP CLI instead.

The solution is to ensure, that server utilizes the cPanel PHP install instead of the main system PHP for scripts loaded via cPanel.

The process to make this change is as follows:

First run:

Code
stat /var/cpanel/usecpphp


Only if the server output is:

Code
stat: cannot stat `/var/cpanel/usecpphp': No such file or directory


Just run:

Code
touch /var/cpanel/usecpphp


Hopefully You find this solution usefull ;)

This is just to confirm that the above solution worked of me.

Softaclulous was only working for some users and not others.
On the users that it wasn't working on it would only produce a white page, or download the index.live.php page.
I had concluded that it was a php error in that some modules/plugins may not be present on some accounts but were on others, however I didn't fancy a huge trial and error test run.

I followed the above instructions to change users to use cpanels version of php and everything works fine.

Thanks to the OP.

For some reason in user-end is not working.. only a blank page loads and increases server load. 

When I input that command this is what I got:


Code

root@huascar [~]# stat /var/cpanel/usecpphp

File: `/var/cpanel/usecpphp'
Size: 0              Blocks: 0          IO Block: 4096  regular empty file

Change: 2009-12-17 00:45:02.000000000 -0500


I did not proceed any further since you said only proceed if you have that certain message.
