Sorry in advance if I'm breaking any rules by posting this link, I just want to help this person!

There is no support, it doesn't work on my server either and ive been trying to get it to work for days. The thread on cpanel forums isn't replied to either...


SOoooo..i would say do not install this on your server.

There is/was (?) a product called ipanel that did this. You might want to see if that's still around.

Sounds like you have security tokens enabled. Go to Tweak Settings to disable that.

I agree, I used the same script the OP is referring to and had to disable security tokens. Although the script is very buggy, and requires apache to run as a module, it does work. Very insecure though.

The best way to uninstall will be to revert the changes it made to files.
From a quick glance at the install script, it modifies and/or creates the following files and directories:

/scripts/postkillacct
/scripts/postwwwacctuser
/scripts/prewwwacct
/scripts/postupcp
/leaveMeAlone/*
/ads/*
/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/addon_forcedAds.php
/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/addon_resellerForcedAds.cgi
/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/forcedAds/*
/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/addon_forcedAds.php
/var/cpanel/templates/apache*/ssl_vhost.local
/var/cpanel/templates/apache*/vhost.local

Remove/revert the files above and then run this to rebuild the apache config:
/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf

I think that will do it. I'm just guessing, though, so make backups and do this at your own risk.

I know this is an old thread but I have recoded this and is much more secure. You can visit http://cpanel-forced-ads.com/ to see the new additions.
