Script to create subdomains/parked domains

[garlic]

Hello,

I am currently writing a "web service" like collection of scripts to act as a wrapper around cpanel to enable cpanel like functionality within the content manager that we sell.

Basically we are trying to include the most used functionality into these scripts. These scripts are served by the cpanel webserver, so they have the same permissions as the user frontend.

My question is this, what application does the cpanel user frontend use to create subdomains and parked domains?

My best guess is the /usr/local/cpanel/bin/domainadmin application, but I can't seem to find its usage anywhere.

I was able to very easily replicate the add/delete/edit email account type functions thanks to the /usr/local/cpanel/cpanel-email application. I am hoping there is a similar one for domains!

I really don't want to try and replicate this process... setting up apache virt hosts, email accounts, dns records, ftp accounts etc... ergh.

Any help welcome,

Thanks,

Michael

[cmdln]

where did you find the usage for /usr/local/cpanel/cpanel-email ?

Have you tried getting a billing system? Try http://www.modernbill.com
If you can configure it properly regarding their FAQ then you can get automated accounts and things like that.

echo "[UID] ADD [SUB] [DOMAIN] [TURN OFF CAN NAME] [DIR]" | /usr/local/cpanel/bin/domainadmin
[UID] = unix uid of user to add domain to
[SUB] = subdomain portion of the domain ==>bob<===.cpanel.net
[DOMAIN] non sub portion bob.==>cpanel.net<==
[TURN OFF CAN NAME] = 0 for subdomains, 1 for addon domains
[DIR] = /home/USER/public_html/bob


echo "[UID] ADD [DOMAIN] [TOPDOMAIN]" | /usr/local/cpanel/bin/parkadmin
[UID] = unix uid of user to add domain to
[DOMAIN] = parked domain
[TOPDOMAIN] = domain to park on

You could also use the AdminBin Lib


use Cpanel::AdminBin ();

my $res = Cpanel::AdminBin::adminrun( 'park', 'ADD', $domain, $topdomain );
if ( !$Cpanel::CPERROR{'park'} ) {
return ( 1, $res );
}
else {
return ( 0, $Cpanel::CPERROR{'park'} );
}

[cmdln]

I dont want a billing system. I just want to be able to script some processes. One of the processes I would like to script is creation/deletion of email forwards. I would also like to script email creation .... however i can find examples of email creation. I just cant seem to find usage for the cpanel-email script.

cpanel-email: usage
addpop <popuser> <password> <quota> <domain>
passwdpop <popuser> <password> <quota> <domain>
delpop <popuser> 0 <domain>
editquota <popuser> <domain> <quota>
listlists
addlist <listname> <password> <domain> <rebuildonly>

[cmdln]

So I cannot add a forwarder with cpanel-email then?

[cmdln]

nothing from that seems to work at all.
I never get any output even from listlists.
When i create a user like so /usr/local/cpanel/cpanel-email testuser password 0 domain.tld
nothing shows up in the web interface. If i create a user in the webinterface I cant delete the email user from the commandline with delpop either.

[edit]
After reading /scripts/addpop i see that it was using the user env variable so after changing to the domain user and trying again it seems to work.
