Automating script installation

Good evening,

I'm glad I joined the cPanel community So, here's my "little" problem:

I own a VPS which has several parked domains in different dirs. One of these domains needs a script which installs automatically an application package when a new user is created in cPanel in his own space.

So, the main script is installed in /usr/shared/app_name

As far as I understood, I can make a postwwwacct script in cpanel /scripts dir which takes the arguments from cPanel when the account is created, and includes the install.php from the /usr/shared/app_name

My problem is that the installation is only for one of the domains - not all... And the app_name symlinks the user dir (/home/username) to that user dir

In the postwwwacct I think I can run the install - or not - if I detect the right domain.

Is this the easy way of doing it?

Also, I would like very much to know if - regarding the cPanel API - I can simply call it from any domain, and how to give an user the permissions to call a root dir, like /usr/shared/app_name for instance.

Any sugestions - previous experiences - are welcomed

Clear skies,

Good afternoon,

I created allready a php which creates automatically an account in whm with a cpanel account. Now I'm trying to do the same, but regarding a particular app from Softaculous, without the user having to do it.

I found this code:

<?php

@set_time_limit(100);

$new = new Soft_Install();
$new->login = 'https://user:root_password@domain.com:2083/frontend/paper_lantern/softaculous/index.live.php';
$new->data['softdomain'] = 'domain.com'; // OPTIONAL - By Default the primary domain will be used
$new->data['softdirectory'] = 'folder'; // OPTIONAL - By default it will be installed in the /public_html folder
$new->data['admin_pass'] = 'qwerty'; //root password
$new->data['admin_email'] = 'admin@domain.com';
$res = $new->install(26); // Will install WordPress

if($res == 'installed'){
echo 'Installed';
}else{
echo $res; // A serialized array of error will be returned
}

But I have 3 questions:

1) Does the script requires the include('/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/softaculous/sdk/installapi.php'); ?

2) Will the app be installed automatically, or must the user/root login to cPanel?

3) Is data['softdomain'] the 'username.domain.com', and the data['admin_pass'] the root password?

Kind regards,

Kepler
