cpanel/WHM or other similar can be installed in a plesk or ensim linux server (like rackshack) please if its possible tell me how !!!
 | View Full Version : Cpanel and WHM can be installed in a dedicated? Haze 03-05-2002, 05:47 AM You need to delete plesk or ensim ( i know one of them has an uninstall option, can't remember which one ) then install Cpanel.. Either that or pay for RS to do a naked install of RedHat ( if they will ). puggy106 03-05-2002, 07:19 AM I know Rackshack dont like touching their servers, there "Unmanaged" so once you have them ... thats it! But give them a try they mght do it for some $$$! Chris ToastyX 03-05-2002, 01:05 PM Plesk is the one with the uninstall option. RackShack won't do a naked install of RedHat even if you offer to pay them. Also, they don't do a standard installation of RedHat, so I don't know if WHM/CPanel would even work properly without some work. I've searched and searched and can't find any success or horror stories about putting WHM/CPanel on a RackShack dedicated server. thesmallguyshost 03-06-2002, 01:26 AM Originally posted by ToastyX Plesk is the one with the uninstall option.

I've taken a Plesk server from RS and removed it and installed Cpanel and everything worked fine. porcupine 03-06-2002, 02:00 AM I would imagine rackshack wouldn't do a bare install of redhat because they likely have some fancy ghost system setup so they just pop hdd's into a box (i'd assume hotswap) and 10 minutes later have the whole setup done and ready to go :D. At least if i was them thats what i'd be doing, a continual ghosting server with say 4 hot-swap drivebays, and fixed cords, and a setup so as soon as you swap one in it starts low level formatting, then partitioning, then ghosting the drive on. Thats just what i'd do though, i might be totally off. ToastyX 03-06-2002, 03:30 AM Yay, a success story! People like to post when things go wrong but hardly ever post when things go right. I think RackShack uses some sort of restore disc instead of a ghosting system, but that's just a hypothesis. porcupine 03-06-2002, 03:38 AM Might be, i just figured a ghosting setup would be more efficient, esp. if you had it setup with the cables fixed to the chasis like a laptop (where you just slide the drive in and out the front bays, no finding cables, figuring out which is which, etc, just pop in and pull out like a toaster :D) thesmallguyshost 03-06-2002, 03:40 AM Originally posted by ToastyX Yay, a success story!

From what I understand (which could be wrong but this is what a tech there told me), they keep a few hard drives that have been ghosted and when someone requests a restore they swap hard drives (which means they keep different sized drives and different configs for each machine)... then they take the old drive and ghost it at their convience and have it available for the next restore request.
