Topic : Sample Auto Install API for DirectAdmin

Posted By: lunny on March 13, 2012, 2:56 pm

Hi,

Do you have any sample codes for using the Auto Install API on DirectAdmin?

I found an example for cpanel here http://www.softaculous.com/docs/Auto_Install_API

Do you have a DirectAdmin version with the correct file paths?

thanks.

Hi,

Just change the following code:

Code
$new->login = 'http://user:password@domain.com:2082/frontend/x3/softaculous/index.live.php';

Code
$new->login = 'http://user:pass@your.server.com:2222/CMD_PLUGINS/softaculous/index.raw';

I couldn't get any response using the following url. Tried pasting it in browser but got redirected to the login page instead.

http://user:pass@your.server.com:2222/CMD_PLUGINS/softaculous/index.raw

Is this the right way to login to DirectAdmin from URL (http://user:pass@your.server.com:2222/) ?

Hi,

Sir this will not work in the browser. You will have to write a code in PHP or any other language to get it working.

Yes, I tried using the installapi.php that came with the Softaculous installation.

I modified the url in the php file and when I run the script, I got redirected to the Directadmin login page.

Neither running it from script nor pasting the url directly in browser works. Both gets redirected to DirectAdmin login page.

Manage to get it working through other ways.

Is there any way to know what are the required fields for installing a script through the API? For example, some scripts require fields like site name, site description.. while some others require company name, etc.

Hi,

The required fields are :

Code
$new->data['softdomain'] = 'domain.com';

$new->data['softdirectory'] = 'folder';

$new->data['admin_username'] = 'admin';

$new->data['admin_pass'] = 'qwerty';

The remaining fields are optional and the default values that are suggested on the install form are taken by Softaculous for installation.

So there's no way I can call the API to dynamically determine the required fields right?

The only way is to refer to the install form and hardcode the fields when doing the auto install with the API?

Hi,

You can use your code to determine the fields.
For eg: if you want to fill your value in sitename
you can use the following code:

Code

$sitename = 'YOUR VALUE';

$new->data['site_name'] = $sitename;

The variable for Sitename is site_name. You can find the variables in the install.xml of the script.

any way you could be more specific as to how you got it working? Been pounding my head against it with my directadmin server for a while now too and would be grateful for the help
