Hi,
I'm trying to set up WHMSubs, but unfortunately, while the installer says that it has installed it, I dont see any evidence of it being installed, and because there is no documentation even as to how it works, I have no way of verifying that it is truely installed, and if it is, how to use it. Has anyone here successfully install WHMSubs that could give me some pointers here. Any help woudl be apreciated. thanks.

Never used it but dl'd it to see if I could help:


Quick Install: We've tried to make this procedure as easy as possible.
**************
[1] Unzip the distribution to your web-directory.

[2] You will need give write permission for directory include/settings.

[3] You will need give executable permissions for cron-tickets.pl
and cron-invoices.pl.

[4] ‘hange first line in cron-tickets.pl and cron-invoices.pl on path
where your Perl interpreter is installed.

[5] ‘hange "Database setting" in cron-tickets.pl.
‘hange "Database setting" and "Common settings" in cron-invoices.pl.

[6] NEW INSTALLATION:
Run <www.your-host.com>/install/ in order to create the default
tables and configure Hosting Gear.

[7] Please remove the installation directory "instal" after complete setup.

[8] Now you're ready to start using WHMSubs!


After that:

got to youdomain.com/directory/admin and login

you give me absolutely no credit at all. Of course I ready the install readme, but unfortunately at the end of it all, I can't log in, and every time I try it points me to a non-existant page on the whmsubs web site. I need someone who actualy suceeded at installing it to help me out here, let me know where I went wrong.

Installed without a problem!

Then trying to figure out what you did wrong I skipped this step:

[2] You will need give write permission for directory include/settings.

It then pointed to whmsubs web site!

Why?

Because if you don't allow the include/settings directory to be written to then this is your final settings.inc file in the include folder!


<?php
define("DOMAIN_NAME","whmsubs.com");

define("WEBSITE_NAME","WHMSubs v.1.0");
define("WEBSITE_URL","http://whmsubs.com/");
define("WEBSITE_EMAIL","webmaster@webstylestudio.com");

define("CRYPT_HASH","11111111111111111111111111111111");

define("DB_HOSTNAME","localhost");
define("DB_USERNAME","root");
define("DB_PASSWORD","");
define("DB_DATABASE","whmsubs");
?>

Something else that may be helpfull, make sure you use the trailing slash on WEBSITE_URL

Good Luck!

Ive done that but how can i login it comes up with

Error! The typed password for user with Username 'admin' is incorrect!

hey, i kinda need some help too.

sry, but im not good at perl...

[4] ‘hange first line in cron-tickets.pl and cron-invoices.pl on path
where your Perl interpreter is installed.

[5] ‘hange "Database setting" in cron-tickets.pl.
‘hange "Database setting" and "Common settings" in cron-invoices.pl.

questions:
- what does "'hange" mean?
- where would my "perl interpreter" be located, and how do I find it?

It would alos help to tell me the EXACT chmods i should do (like 777, 755...)

it means change

thnks! how 'bout this part though:

- where would my "perl interpreter" be located, and how do I find it?

It would alos help to tell me the EXACT chmods i should do (like 777, 755...)

do you have cpanel

somewhere on ur cpanels main page look for perl it is normally located at /usr/bin/perl


and yes it is 777 for them :)

[2] You will need give write permission for directory include/settings.

[3] You will need give executable permissions for cron-tickets.pl
and cron-invoices.pl.

hmmm i donno, i wouldnt chmod them all to 777, considering one only needs exec. permission and the other needs write permission.... wouldnt it be 755 & 777?

777 includes both

yeh, but somebody could mess it up and write to the file... isnt chmod 777 unsafe?

i would go for 755

you k after you done that i am having trouble getting into the admin area for the first time which is pain in da ***

sry uhm i dont understand what ur saying.... try using periods more often...

k, in teh db install (step 6), what does the follow mean...
Database server
DIRECTI username
DIRECTI password

does teh db server = MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.? or the server where the db is locating? if its the teh server where teh db is located, what would i type in, etc.

and for this directi stuff, i got no clue what its talking 'bout. can someone plz shed some light?

directi is a domain reseller program if you dont have leave it out or go to www.directi.com to signup as a reseller and the database server is local most webhosts have it installed and most free webhosts

how 'bout teh db server? btw, try chmoding ur admin.php to 777, taht might make it work.

i had a look but i dont have a copy of admin.php can you send me a copy plz for some reason it didnt come with mine

how 'bout teh db server though? what does that mean?

localhost or 127.0.0.1 without looking at the documentation.

thanks, thats what i though! i know that some people host their db on another server.

once again, thanks!

well tell me can you login into whmsubs?

when i set it up it had a bunch of links reffering back to thier site, was a pain setting up and the admin login was set for one of those guys. i had to modify my database some. also on cpanel all cgi works on 755 , txt and php 666 or 777. i set it up back in sept 04

the admin logins from the same login as the users index.php

the default admin username is admin
cant remember the pw

install/rebuild_database.php look in here for the pw i think
$query="INSERT INTO `accounts` VALUES ('0','admin','".$admin_password."',1,'Dmitry','Yeskin','webmaster@webstylestudio.com','','',0,0,'','',NOW(),'0','','','',1,'')";

if you need to generate a password let me know. its very encripted in the database. than just edit the admin roll and insert your encripted db it should work when you login with you plain txt pwthis is the plain txt pw. = kkjjj = cÓÜ·¦ <----this is the encripted pw in the database.insert this in the database in the admin row password box. than try logging in

then can you generate me a password then plz cuz all i see is

$query="INSERT INTO `accounts` VALUES ('0','admin','".$admin_password."',1,'Dmitry','Yeskin','webmaster@webstylestudio.com','','',0,0,'','',NOW(),'0','','','',1,'')";
$result = MYSQL_QUERY($query, $db_link);
if ($result==0) { $error="1"; echo "4 "; }

So how do i fix it thanks

Hello i am sorry for bumping a 4 year old topic but i just wanted to know if any one had any luck actually installing the software - The comany are no longer supporting this software and i am taking over trying to code this. I would like to know if any one could install this software for me - I will pay if needed

Thanks

feature list looks promising http://www.webstyleopen.com/whmsubs.html but i cannot install this script. Ive installed a lot of scripts successfully in the past but this script isn't having any of it. the doc comes with it and followed the instructions but after entering the info at http://www.domain.com/install/ and click Finish Installation button the page just refreshes and when i check in phpmyadmin no tables have been added to the databases

i guess the script isn't free after all because you have to pay someone to get it installed ?
