I have found a free hosting manager script, the company that makes it is also a hosting company. If this script works out, then I am going to wait on making my script. I have used there last version and its was pretty good, but buggy. I am actually using it right now. They just released a new version, and i am in the process of setting it up. It seems very good. The url is http://www.eniki.net

Goto the scripting section. You can also look in there forums and check out the problems they have had, and what the scripter has to say.

the demo don't seems to work. it works like phpmanager like that isit ?

hmm, i thought i tried the demo. Well dont know about phpmanager(never used it). But it basicaly keeps track of your customers, allows for staff, and has a basic help desk. BTW I still plan on designing mine, but right now is not a good time.

Nothing more annoying than a demo that does not accept the password listed.

gezz. :rolleyes:

It doesn't work...??!!

The demo doesn’t work, I keep on getting the following:

Username not found or password not recognised.
If you have forgotten your password, please email requesting a new one.
Remember to submit your name, email address and account name in the email.Not a good start but can’t complain as its free :D

Hi,

not saying it's a copy or anything, but the code does look rather similar to our old phpManager v1.0 ;)

Also, the emails are exactly the same (a little bit reworded) as ours. For an example, download the script, look at the emails, then click on our demo, goto edit emails and look at our emails ;)

Hi,

the demo isn't working because, if you look at the variables.php file, you will see that you have to hardcode your database details.

Now, that is fine, but if you look further down, once connected, it will then declare your database variables from the database, of which you can change these in setup.

The thing is, once changed, you will no longer be able to connect to the database as, how can you connect to the database when you have to access the database first to retrieve the database details? :D

Yep, it works. It's not a bad piece of kit really. One to watch for sure.

I keep on getting

You must be able to use cookies in order to access these pages.Must be doing something wrong? :eek:

You got cookies enabled on your browser ?

I have it installed here, it's "ok"

darth hook me up with a link and username :)

Because i am such a nice guy, here is a demo i have setup.

http://www.iseenhosting.com/manger2 = Signup

http://www.iseenhosting.com/manager2/clients = Client Area test/test

http://www.iseenhosting.com/manager2/admin = Admin Area testadmin/test


This is how it looks right after you install it. I have not got around to customimizing it yet. When i get to getting it all setup, those usernames and passwords will not work anymore.

there is something in the eniki forums about this problem. When you put your domain in the setup part it should be "yourdomain.com", not "www.yourdomain.com" or "http://www.iseenhosting.com"

It’s working now :) I just disabled ZoneAlarm ;)

Hey,

It's the eniki manager scripter.

I have read all of the comments and would say they are very just.
I am aware of all of the problems, and securtiy issues which is why I had already started a new re-script of the entire thing.

There is a lot more to it and this won't be a big a failure as the last. The reason for that was it is my first script, and we a big venture for a first timer. I have learnt a lot since then. Also, the script was designed for personal use, but some people wished to download it to use so i added it.

It is a beta version, I would not recommend using it until this new version comes out.

Some of the ideas/things to do/things done:
Template system
Languages

And basicly a better script. There is a lot to be added.

One thing I was going to ask, do you recommend encorporating sessions? Or stick to cookies?

Thanks for all your comments.

I always use both.. I never store the user's password in a cookie, so I store the session id and userid/username and validate from there on...

 

One thing you might think about is making a global or functions file, every file you have has its own database connect. You can also just code user validation in one file instead of several...

Also...

You would prolly want to use the new way to handle varibles such as $_POST, $_GET, $_COOKIE, $_SESSION :)

Got a new security setup.
I can't figure out a way round it and nor can anyone else on the forum that has read it. So, I hope its secure.

I have used $_COOKIE["blah"]; as well, so it has to be from the cookie.

People can fake the cookie, so I made it make sure the username excists in the db. And finally, if they have a lucky guess on that, it checks that the ip used to connect is the same from that of the last login, so you are stuffed unless you use the same pc.

There is no problem with ip's changing either, they just log in again, simple.

Can you think of a way round it?

when do you think the new version will be released? I would like to try it out.

that is the new version.

Yes but it is not complete yet, it will be in a few days. Cant wait for your feedback!

Yeh, a few days :rolleyes:

Hopefully by Feb 2nd.

If not, definately, absolutely, no later than: 9th Feb.

Unless I drop down dead or something. :blush:

Feb 3.. still not avalible...

what's the ETA?

patiently waiting....

:)

Not to bad of a method.. I would do more than just check for the last IP and if username is valid. Your best bet would be to generate a session, and store the sessionid in a cookie on the system along with the username.. The IP idea isn't bad, but people behind dynamic proxies like many AOL users may have to login over and over again to be able to use it... You could go about the method of storing a hashed password but sessions that expire after a few hours work just as well...

Making your script possible to be protected by .htaccess would also be important, as it is now, you should be able too, but some scripts I know people write, this isn't possible..

I went to site and it seems to be down..."cannot find server"???

I can access it but it is veeeerrryyy slooooooooooooooooowww

Sorry about that guys, we have been creating a lot of our own traffic, we are trying to make absolute certain that we cannot hack this script, even using overflows etc... You don't have long to wait now!

Yay!!! I so wanna try this on my server...

soon they say... soon... soon... when when ... come on I can't wait any longer...

:D

seriously..glad you guys are taking the time to test and re-test .. but that doesn't make the wait any easier...

another day... and still waiting.........


(I know they did say the 9th at the latest...guess they ment earliest) :)

Hopefully by Feb 2nd. No later than Feb 9...Unless I drop dead...

Where do we send flowers to?? :eek:

For all to note:

The newest and hopefully best and most secure version of eniki manager is currently under construction and will be finished soon. We are under a lot of pressure at this present time, especially Arron who is the lead programmer on this project, so please bear with him. To check for regular updates, see the eniki forum at http://forum.eniki.net

That link and all subdomains on Eniki have been down for nearly two weeks.

March 31 and no updates :(

i understand people get busy and such, but i really want to see this. Ive heard some decent things. Can we get an update on the status of this project? Does anyone have this running currently?

Hi Case,

I am not part of the development team but very close to aaron and somewhat of a leech hehe pushing him to get this done asap... I cant say much because am not allowed to but its almost done, and it looks very very very very very nice and promising for it being free, also has the potential to compete with other managers that are paid for.

sounds good, could you keep me updated as to when the project will be finished so i can take a look at it.

Sorry guys, its been busy.

I am hoping to get it out real soon.

With subdomains etc, yes, there have been issues. We have changed some settings and even moved registrars which should solve this problem. Seems to be uk users, but if someone can prive me wrong it would help... well, at least make sense.

:bawling:

Would this script work for a dedicated hosting company, not just shared hosting?
-- Jonathan

I suppose, it is just for keeping track of accounts and contact information and also works as a ticket sytem. You could easily deploy it on one of your servers to keep track of accounts.

Eniki,

Do you have a target date when v2 will be available?
