I was wondering if there is a control panel that the resellers could use. The autosetup script from northwest (http://autosetup.northwesthost.com/index.html) seems it could do the job - if I created a restricted access for resellers, thus allowing them to create accounts on our server in real time...

We don't currently own any RAQs, just considering renting a dedicated server and want to know the options. Any other scripts like this one? I guess any auto setup script with the possibility to restrict user access will do. I guesss that can be done for any script on a linux box...

I have looked at the past threads on this forum but most of the links for scripts don't work anymore...

i don't know any offhand. i'm new, BUT, there might be some at the cobalt solutions directory...

Hello,

I can't find any thing that is concerned about it. The only thing I found is Auto Setup which have been already discussed.

skylab, can you yourself tell us any scripts ? Atleast I can't find any... :rolleyes:

:confused: :confused: :confused:

I wrote one using PHP/MySQL for my Resellers (I've since decided not to have a reseller program :) ). It works, but there is no auto setup. I setup all the accounts myself. Perhaps the two could be made to work together....

BravoComm: perhaps we could add the auto setup feature to your script. I have some knowledge of PHP although I never worked with RAQs before. Would you be willing to chip in your resellers script, so to speak?

From the previous threads I know that there are other auto setup scripts out there, besides the one I spoke about in my first post... anyone has those to share? The original download pages are gone.

Can you tell us what does that script do ? I mean its functions and etc ?

<< is the script free?? I dont think so... -kunal >>

Wow! Well, I am not currently selling it... I wrote it for my own use. I guess the fact that I may sell it in the future causes a problem... many of you have contacted me for demo information. I guess that's the way this will have to be handled.

I appreciate that you are trying to keep this board free of advertisements... I just didn't realize this constituted one.

It is a superb add-on to our RaQ powered Hosting Business. I would now be waiting desperately for you to make changes and add things what you told us and then forward it to us.

Again, its an awesome thing!
Woohoo! Now I would be able to provide my clients with some control panel for themself.
:stickout :D :cool: :)

we'd had been working on a reseller script & interface for some time...

the "basic" things are not really hard to to (assign some data to reseller, reseller can add vsites/users) with the use of cronjobs and Jeff Bilicki's shell tools.

the problems started with more sophisticated features,

ie. how to ensure a reseller has somewhat of total control of the vsite he added... if you generate a siteadmin user for the reseller and the endcostumer, the endcostumer can easily delete the resellers siteadmin... (solution: messing around with group configuration files)
ie. how to modify site parameters; the shell tools just can add or delete vsites; (solution: the resellerscript would have to mess around in httpd.conf and the raqs postgres database)

and to solve those problems you've to heavily mess around in cobalt's special souce so we'd been at the point why not having a linux dedicated server when we've to do everything ourself... (infact, if you're coding in perl you'd can take great usage of cobalt's perl modules)
