Cpanel/WHM Hacks
More Knob? Unpossible! Find out what happened here...
Working in a shared hosting environment can suck. You can't access various things, or you want to allow others to access things that are only in cpanel/whm. Here's a few hacks that may help.
Components outside of Cpanel/WHM
| Script | Example | Code | Notes |
|---|
| Autoresponder: | None | View | Allow access to webmail autoresponder configuration outside of cPanel |
| AWStats: | View | View | View outside cPanel |
| AWStatsAuth: | -- | View | Have clients "login" to AWStats through a web form |
| Fileman | README | Download | Fileman is a proxy for the Cpanel File Manager. It allows resellers the ability
to offer the functionality of the Cpanel File Manager without having
to give complete access to the full Cpanel. |
| Lastest Visitors: | None | View | View outside cPanel |
| Server status: | View | View |
|
| Webalizer stats: | View | View | View outside cPanel |
Backups*
| Script | Example | Code | Notes |
|---|
| Backup and FTP: | Sample output | View |
Similar to others. Uses cURL/SSL to download home backups and db backups, but uploads them to a remote ftp server of your choosing. Uses an HTML form submittal. NOT recommended, flaky, insecure. |
| Multi-site full backups: | Sample output | View |
Requests full backups through cpanel. Uses cURL/SSL. |
| Multi-site home backups: | See script for usage | View |
Uses wget |
| Multi-site home backups: | Sample Log | View |
Uses cURL; a 35mb backup seems to be about the limit; YMMV |
| Multi-site db backup: | Sample Log | View |
Uses straight PHP; Not tested on "large" databases |
* The backup scripts using cURL and straight PHP (i.e. not wget) seem to have trouble with files over
about 35 mb.
* All the backup scripts pass the username/passwords to whm/cpanel through the URL. Some scripts use SSL. Others don't.
Miscellaneous Utilities
