Softaculous

Topic : cPanel Icon

Page 1 of 2

Posted By: jonprindiville on July 27, 2009, 12:51 am

Hi I have a VPS that i would love to run softaculous on. When i origionaly installed it the current version was 1.7 and i had to reload that server. Now that i did a fresh install of softaculous it was version 1.8 and when logging into cpanel it shows the icon in its own group and not in the software/services group like it should. Does anyone know how to fix this? I figure it is not the server due to the fact i have tried reloading it again and still no luck.

Thanks,
Jon

This is a general bug of cPanel.
Softaculous uses cPanels API which is :
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/register_cpanelplugin /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/softaculous

If this is run twice cPanel adds it to a NULL category.
Hence this issue.
Please try this from Shell:
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/unregister_cpanelplugin /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/softaculous

that is not a valid line of code so i did this like instead /usr/local/cpanel/bin/unregister_cpanelplugin /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/softaculous/softaculous.cpanelplugin and still no luck is there anyway i can gain access to verison 1.7 then do the upgrade to version 1.8? or does anyone know how to completely uninstall?

Sir I have emailed the cPanel guys.
I will let you know when they reply

Also 1.7 will again try to register the plugin
I know the coding. It will not help sir.

Let the cPanel guys look into the issue.

I just don't understand when i installed 1.7 on a clean server it installed fine and when i installed 1.8 on 2 clean servers both times it ended up funny in cpanel on both. So would there be anyway i could at least try 1.7 and see what happens just as something until the cpanel people get back to us?

After some research i was able to figure this out. Here is what i had to do.

First run this line of code (this will remove the current icon that is in the null icon group): /usr/local/cpanel/bin/unregister_cpanelplugin /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/softaculous/softaculous.cpanelplugin

Next use a program such as WinSCP to login to your servers root file system --> navigate to the following directory: /usr/local/cpanel/bin and unzip then copy the containing file (attached file) into this directory.

Now we we need to run the last line of code and this places the icon in the correct directory: /usr/local/cpanel/bin/register_cpanelplugin /usr/local/cpanel/bin/softaculous.cpanelplugin

Now all new accounts you create will have the icon correctly placed in the Software/Services group. One thing i noticed is that the icon that was in the null group sometimes remained visible in existing accounts.

Problem Fixed!

Sir we have figured out the mistake.
It happens to be a CRLF bug.
Linux/UNIX system treat file only in LF as proper.
Rest CRLF files create this problem
We have now changed the formatting to only LF.

Now we have figured it why the unregister didnt work !

Alons

Is there a way to remove it from existing accounts too? I've tried...

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/unregister_cpanelplugin /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/softaculous/softaculous.cpanelplugin

... but the icon remains in the "null" group at the top of the page.

I never was able to find a way to correct existing accounts but it was not a big deals because no one was on the server yet because it was new. Sorry I was not more help.

Alons, that icon was removed too but we have our own custom icon anyway. Incidentally this is on a different server to the other account you're investigating.

Custom Icon ?
As in you made the icon.
Well then did you run the register plugin Twice ?

Yes we made a custom icon to go along with our other custom icons. I can install/uninstall that one fine but I can't uninstall the softaculous icon that is in it's own box. Also it appears to still be there on new accounts.

On our 4 test servers once we removed the Carriage Returns from the softaculous.cpanelplugin file and run the above commands it corrected everything.
Just run the REGISTER Plugin again and the unregister:
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/register_cpanelplugin /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/softaculous/softaculous.cpanelplugin
