Unable to Install a Fantastico script to an Addon Domain

[rking]

We have a client who is unable to install a script to an addon domain. I have not yet checked if this case is true for all addon domains or just this user, but I do know the error does not present itself when installed on a main domain.

Upon trying to install a script through Fantastico, the following error is displayed in the cPanel error log:

sh: ot: No such file or directory

Additionally, we see the following error on the 3rd step of the installation process:

Install SMF (3/3)

1) File: ot /home/USER/public_html/ADDON/test/Settings.php [ERROR! ]
2) File: ot /home/USER/public_html/ADDON/test/data.sql [ERROR! ]

You can see that this example is during an SMF installation, though I've verified it happens with other scripts. I can see from the HTML source that the hidden variable userrootpath and scriptpath are already passing the incorrect value "ot /home/..." from autoinstallcheck.php to autoinstallsmfdo.php. I traced through the code of autoinstallcheck.php:

$userroot = "";
$scriptpath = "";
$installing_in_root = 0;
$thiserror = "";
$no_more = 0;
//
$enc_cpanel_domain = "<cpanel print="DOMAIN">";
$enc_cpanel_homedir = "<cpanel print="$homedir">";
$extracted_path = "";

/*  COMMENT NUMBER ONE */
if (is_file($fantasticopath.'/includes/enc_check.inc.php'))
{
    include($fantasticopath.'/includes/enc_check.inc.php');
}
/* COMMENT NUMBER TWO */

At COMMENT NUMBER ONE's point, the variable is still empty. At COMMENT NUMBER TWO's point $scriptpath now contains the faulty "ot /home/..." value.

I'm so close to the answer, I can taste it!

pico /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/fantastico//includes/enc_check.inc.php

BOO! Zend Encoded!

So this long story boils down to a simple question:

From where does enc_check.inc.php pull the values it uses to populate $userroot and $scriptpath?

I have checked the httpd.conf and the user's /var/cpanel/users/ file.

Ugh, disregard this. After all that, I neglected to notice that the included file resided in the 3rdparty/fantastico/includes/ directory, which is obviously a Netenberg-written script.
