Interested? - HOW TO: Create your own remote access features in PHP

[maxstudios]

Hi,

I have part of a class built which will control some of the functions of cpanel, and WHM. but unfortunately it is only possible when i have free time to spend on this.

I am considering creating a sf project for this as so people can contribute there own code/solutions.

but from what i can gather we are not far away from cpanel/WHM 11.x so it maybe a good time to wait...

Once cpanel/WHM 11.x is released i will make an informed choice of wether to create a publicly available api for cpanel.

Hi!
I just testing the remote access in php, below is my script:

require '/usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Accounting.php.inc';

$host = "ip_address_of_my_other_server";// I put remote server IP here
$user = "root";
$accesshash = 'XXXXXXXXX91d6376e0c1d21508c360645c55b5809XXXXXXXX';
$accts = listaccts($host,$user,$accesshash,1);
print_r($accts);

Simple as the sample, I found I can list accounts only in the localhost but not on the remote server, why ? I did have CURL+SSL installed on the remote server and the local server.

This post was on fire for me - exactly what I was looking for. But then it just died

I think WHMCS is absolutely awesome, but I am developing a site where we can't integrate their software, so we need to develop our own remote calls to WHM.

Still do date the Cpanel API is incredibly lacking imo...

I hope this thread comes back to life
