Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Control Panel For Solaris

[mree]

Hello,

We have a hosting server that is running on the Solaris
Sparc 7 platform. We want to be able to allow our users to
set up their own pop3's. I cannot find any software that will allow this. All the decent control panels seem to only be written for Linux. We have already invested alot of $$ in our Sun machine and we want to use it. Does anyone know of any control panel type software that has this feature (and anything more would be a bonus).

Thanks!

plesk at plesk.com runs on solaris I believe, its a very good control panel

[i am a]

just for clarification...

isn't solaris a linux flavour?

[CRego3D]

Nope

Sloaris is SUN MIcrosystems own Unix Operating System

very stable .. quite nice, until a few years ago it was the "must have" of ISP's and Hosts

then Linux came

Yep, go for plesk! It's very easy to setup and the only one I know of that runs on solaris.

Pleak version runs on Solaris Sparc 2.x platform. Sorry. I'd like to find one that runs on an 8.x version, so if you find anything, please post...

[webfors]

Damn, your right. Oh well, it's still compatible with more OS's then any other control panel I know.

I think sphera runs on Solaris 7.

That's all nice and all, but how come I have never seen a demo of sphera's wonderful control panel. Do you know where I can try it??

I should have mentioned this in my thread... I spent a long time on the phone with someone at Plesk and I am told that they are no longer supporting Solaris in any new versions. The guy told me that they did not sell one copy for Solaris in all of 2000. :-(

Thanks though!!

I looked at their website. It always worries me when I have to contact a sales rep for pricing. Anyone know how expensive it is? It must be pretty expensive since they don't even hint at it.

Anyone know of anything besides sphera?

Thanks!

That's too bad. I just finished installing Plesk again here at home, in a grand total of 10 minutes!!! I really love how easy that panel is to install. But it's not just a control panel, it installs and configures apache, proftp, bind, php4, mysql, qmail and more.


(getting back to topic) What about http://www.smarthostingtools.com Does it work on Solaris?

I don't trust any company that doesn't disclose their prices along with a functioning demo. You have no idea what your looking at! If it's really that great, well, let's see it

Tabernack,

The Smart Hosting Controller does not run on Solaris. We are currently focusing on RedHat and FreeBSD first. Perhaps in 2-3 months we will release a Solaris version.
