Hi,

The Softaculous Team has released Softaculous 4.2.8

This version adds Clone functionality and some more features and fixes few bugs.

A complete list of changes:

1) Clone installation : Users can now clone an installation to test updates or changes on the cloned installation. The guide is available here. Note : Clone is available only for a few scripts at the moment. We will be adding it to more scripts regularly. The list is available here.

2) Clone hooks : Added pre clone and post clone hooks. The guide is available here.

3) Backup Notes : Added option to save a note for reference while backing up an installation. These notes can be used to choose an appropriate backup to restore. The guide is available here.

4) Bug Fix : If there was no sufficient space available on the user's account while backing up an installation, no error was triggered by Softaculous. Softaculous will now display the appropriate error.

5) Bug Fix : On Interworx panel Softaculous was unable to save the CHMOD settings from the Admin panel. This is now fixed.

6) Bug Fix : Correct Ioncube loader will now be downloaded on servers running FreeBSD.

We hope you enjoy the features, we will be adding many more features in the next version.

Regards,
The Softaculous Team

2 Questions:

1. will CLONE preserve all Wordpress URL integrity? will Softaculous Clone function do "EXACTLY" the same as this Article 329: Moving your Wordpress from a subfolder to the root directory (in my case i modify 329, i'm moving from add-on domain to add-on domain)
http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/wordpress/329-move-folders

2. i was just on the phone with IMH tech and we are NOT sure what is entered in the Clone Installation>"In Directory". i thought to leave it blank because Clone would use the name you entered in previous step "Choose Domain" and use the above domain name as the directory name. the tech said he thought i should use "public_html/examplenewaddondomainname.com". this scares me because a few days ago several IMH techs said DO NOT use public_html in path you could wipe out your account (but they were referring to article 329). HELP!!! and thank you!

Hi,

When you are cloning from a domain to root of another addon domain you can leave the "In Directory" field blank. This will clone the files to addon domain you choose in the "Choose Domain" dropdown.

But if you are cloning on the same domain you should enter something in the "In Directory" field to clone the installation into a sub directory of the same domain.

In either of the case if the files already exists Softaculous will trigger an error that the files already exists and will not overwrite the files unless you choose the "Overwrite Files" check-box.

it didn't completely work. please see attachment.

nrsraft.com  original site to be cloned

raftswhitewater.com  blank add-on domain

you can see much is lost but at first look the urls look okay. nrsraft.com is a basic WP install. uses twenty twelve theme so nothing should be lost. it lost the theme color and header image.

raftswhitewater.com shows the actual WP pages and NOT the Appearance>Menus and the menu structure from nrsraft.com

hi brijesh,

those higher level techs/programmers who fixed this issue in Clone, when they were working in my Cpanel Softaculous account, they left 2 installs of the Clone to site, raftswhitewater.com

i don't know which is the good/final version that has the correct fixes of the Clone. i VERY AFRAID to remove/delete/touch anything at this time. the site raftswhitewater.com is good and i've done the Cpanel 301 redirects from nrsrafts.com to raftswhitewater.com and in my Google Webmaster Account and Bing Webmaster Account i have initiated the Change Of Address (move domain/site to new different domain/site) Form... so NOTHING can mess up as the GODS (google/bing) of the INTERNET process the change! what should i do about the 2nd copy of raftswhitewater.com in my Cpanel Softaculous account?

thank you!!

Hi,

We have removed the duplicate entry of the installation and your site is working fine with the current entry.

Please let us know if you still face the issue.

hi again Brijesh,

the Softaculous Clone function is NOT fixed/updated in my Inmotion Hosting provider. i know this because i just did a Softaculous Clone

original
http://theboatpeople.org/
Clone to
http://raft-pumps.com/

and it's the same issue as my above posts for nrsraft.com

is Clone updated and supposed to be working at Inmotion Hosting? http://www.inmotionhosting.com/
it's NOT.

these sites are NOT critical for me (as before nrsraft.com was critical and thank you for fixing). so Softaculous does NOT have to go in my Cpanel and fix http://raft-pumps.com/
(only if you want to, LOL!)

i didn't understand you when/if Clone is supposed to be working or not? it's NOT for me at inmotion hosting.

thank you

Hi,

Sir we have not released the fixed package yet. We will be releasing it today. Once it is released we will let you know and then the package should be downloaded on the Inmotion servers within 24 hours (from release) and then the Clone function should work fine.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
