Hello,

I've a cPanel reseller account and would like to make an automatic installation of WordPress when the client signs up (I use ClientExec.) How could I make it? Any tutorial?

Best regards,
Diego.

Hi
Wordpress is part of fantastico, so you could just run a fast basic install as yuou create the accounts, if you are looking at low usage ammounts.. I dont think there is a way to get CE to to it automagically :(

I've Fantastico, but I would like to make an automatic and own installation of WordPress in Portuguese. I've root access to server, but would like to do it via a reseller account. Does any knows if is it possible?

I've cPanel 10.9/ WHM 10.8, latest stable versions.

I'll try at cPanel forums.

I was looking at WHM, there's a "Skeleton Directory", that is like an "account template". So, we could "upload" our site, but how could we auto create mySQL login/database and install the script?

That is what would mkae it complex. You could make a CRON which auto runs a script which installs it, but it would be tricky to get it done on the correct accoutns :P

I think CRON is no a good idea, it could be guns at dark (have English that expression?). Oh and sorry for my bad bad English.

I know the guys at WHMCS would be able to help you out with a custom server module which could do it. I'm sure CE could do the same for you.

Yeah, but WHMCS charge a lot for custom programming, i got quoted $8k for a custom packages thing that included reseller and master reseller bits :P
