cPanel 11 breaks cPaddon public_html root install ability

[hostmedic]

http://bugzilla.cpanel.net/show_bug.cgi?id=5591

When upgrading to cPanel 11 - we have lost the ability to install any scripts to the root directory of a users public_html folder

this is a serious issue - as all our installs for our customer base depend upon this.

The work around we had for cPanel 10 - just no longer works -
Any suggestions ?

I'd recommend using mod_rewrite to give the illusion the scripts are installed in root when they indeed are not.

David...

David - mod_rewrite is great - but not when you have to tell everyone a new directory to install to.

This is not acceptable.

Why break what was not broken ?


What happens if a client installs to /wec or /site
Keep in mind this is not just on our software package - but all cPaddons !

A Fix is needed - not a work around.


What would you suggest for a client that has upwards of 30000 sites installed in this manner - ?
the upgrade path would break this as well...

Dave - apologies ---

Dave - I assume your suggesting a temporary solution there...

I am glad to see the bug has been confirmed -http://bugzilla.cpanel.net/show_bug.cgi?id=5591

and looks like someone is working it...

update: still broken

all cPaddons - including our own are broken to date.
I believe it may be as Dan says in the bugzilla - a coding issue...
but just cant get around it.

I am also surprised that ALL public cPAddons (yes I tried them all ) do not allow a root install...

The in/ability to perform a root install of a cPAddon is a function of the cPAddon framework itself rather than an individual cPAddon.

The fix was placed into the latest Edge release.

While the cPaddon needs to have the proper code in place for an install to public_html to work - there was a bug making it so this would not happen.

I want to thank your team - specifically Dan for his excellent work on tracking this issue down and fixing it quickly.


I love an organization that understands their users are people who are working with people...

Rare in this day and age.

Thanks again
