Fantastico installation issues


Fantastico should be installed as a Plugin for Cpanel anytime the OS is reloaded on your HPC Host server. This happens automatically with any Cpanel installation by the HPC Host provisioning system.

To finalize the installation, log into Web Host Manager and browse to the Plugins section

Once accessed, you’ll see a Click Here link that should refresh your browser and start the installation of Fantastico’s latest version automatically.

 

Issues

01 - If the automated installation simply does not start, you’ll need to log into the servers root ssh console and run a few commands.
Login to your server as root via SSH on either the public or private network interface using your client of choice and issue the following command:

cd /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi

Then, run the following command to download a .tgz file from www.netenberg.com

wget http://www.netenberg.com/files/free/fantastico_whm_admin.tgz

After downloading the file, extract its contents and delete the .tgz file by running this command:

tar -xzpf fantastico_whm_admin.tgz ; rm fantastico_whm_admin.tgz

Return to your web browser and try the automated installation again.


02 - If the automated installation loops over and over to the same page asking you to install


Enable register_globals in cPanel's PHP.  This does not affect your system PHP configurations.


vi /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/php.ini


Change register_globals = Off to register_globals = On then save, quit and go through the installation.


03 - If you complete the installation but fantastico again instructs you to install AND you are using CentOS5/RHEL5 (before 5.3) then you may be affected by this bug.

Perform the following commands and try again:


mkdir -p /root/wget
ARCH=
wget ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/wget-1.10.2-3.2.1.i386.rpm
rpm2cpio wget-1.10.2-3.2.1.i386.rpm | cpio -vid ./usr/bin/wget
mv usr/bin/wget /usr/bin/wget-alt
rmdir usr/bin usr
sed -i.`date +%s` -e "/Binaries.*wget/{ s@/usr/bin/wget'@/usr/bin/wget-alt'@; }" /var/netenberg/private_settings.php

If you are using 64bit then replace the above URL with: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Everything/x86_64/os/Fedora/wget-1.10.2-15.fc7.x86_64.rpm
