CPanel : Account Creation Module (Remote Access Key)

[rochen]

Has anyone had any luck getting this to work? I have successfully got it to list accounts, list packages etc. However, no matter what I have tried, for the life of me I can't get it to create new accounts. I am using the PHP version (not Perl). The command I am using is:

[quote:c3a155c06a]createacct ($host,$user,$accesshash,$acctdomain,$acctuser,$acctpass,$acctplan,$usessl,0);[/quote:c3a155c06a]

Is this correct? and secondly, if not what command should I be using?

No error is returned, it just doesn't make the account.

I have of course got all the variables such as &$acctdomain& set. I am just not sure if the command above is correct or not.

Any help would be appreciated

the correct way to do it is:
createacct ($host,$user,$accesshash,$usessl,$acctdomain,$acctuser,$acctpass,$acctplan);
make sure that usernames dont have numbers or are longer than 8 characters, mail me if you have any other problems

 

[rochen]

Thanks for your help, I got a bit further. However now I get the error &Unable to find a ip address&. When I create an account via WHM it works fine.

 

[jimcarter]

ive never had this problem before, make sure that when creating your packages you have setup the IP address of an account on that package, i.e. whether it has its own IP address or is on the main server IP

 

[rochen]

Yeah, I have done that, IP Address is set to &No&.

 

[jimcarter]

really not sure then sorry, you will have to email your hosting company for support

I am having the same problem, by setup the IP address, I assume you just mean put a 'n' in the package string.

Could you either confirm this or post the createacct string that works for you.

Thanks

 

[rochen]

I am not using the sting, what I have done is, setup a &package& via WHM, then where it asks you for the package you want to use, I have filled in &user_packagename&. When I used the package string it didn't work at all and returned errors such as &Unrecognised package& etc.

If anyone has any has ideas regarding this problem, I am open to suggestions

Rochen,
My reply was actually intended for jim. I don't have the option to create packages, but even so I seem to have got stuck at the same point as you.

 

[jimcarter]

I havent been able to find any documentation on this problem so far sorry,
the following is how I create my accounts through PHP:

require '/usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Accounting.php.inc';
$host = &localhost&;
$user = &username&;
$accesshash = &myaccesshash173644684&;

$usessl = &1&;

$acctdomain = &testdomain.com&;
$acctuser = &username&;
$acctpass = &pass&;
$acctplan = &user_Basic&;
createacct ($host,$user,$accesshash,$usessl,$acctdomain,$acctuser,$acctpass,$acctplan);


try doing this in a single script before you start doing it with variables posted in forms, let me know how you get on

 

[rochen]

Jim - Does your script work for you?

 

[mort]

Thanks for getting back to me jim

I don't have the option to create packages, but I just ran it using one of the predefined packages and it worked.

Either I will have to try to figure out how to send the package string or use the work around of:

$response = join(&&, file(&http://& . $user . &@& . $whm_server . &:& . $whm_port . &/scripts/wwwacct?& . $request));

 

[rochen]

How did you get round the problem of the &Unable to obtain IP& ?

 

[jimcarter]

mort just managed to create a new account with the code what I just posted, also mort, to list the package names available you can just put in the following:

$pkgs = listpkgs($host,$user,$accesshash,$usessl);


foreach($pkgs as $key =& $value) {
print_r($key);
echo &&br&&;
}
that will list just the names
if you want the package details just use the following:-


$pkgs = listpkgs($host,$user,$accesshash,1);


$plan = &user_Basic&;

echo &&h4&Hosting Package Details&;
echo &&br&Package: $plan&br&IP Address: &.$pkgs[$plan][0].& &br&&;
echo &CGI Access: &.$pkgs[$plan][1].& &br&&;
echo &Web Space: &.$pkgs[$plan][2].& &br&&;
echo &Frontpage Extensions: &.$pkgs[$plan][3].& &br&&;
echo &Control Panel Theme: &.$pkgs[$plan][4].& &br&&;
echo &FTP Accounts: &.$pkgs[$plan][5].& &br&&;
echo &Databases: &.$pkgs[$plan][6].& &br&&;
echo &E-mail Accounts: &.$pkgs[$plan][7].& &br&&;
echo &E-mail Lists: &.$pkgs[$plan][8].& &br&&;
echo &Subdomains: &.$pkgs[$plan][9].& &br&&;
echo &Bandwith: &.$pkgs[$plan][10].& &br&&;
echo &SSH Shell: &.$pkgs[$plan][11].& &br&&;
echo &Parked Domains: &.$pkgs[$plan][12].& &br&&;
echo &Addon Domains: &.$pkgs[$plan][13].& &br&&;
hope this helps

 

[mort]

Thanks Jim,
It does work if I use the predefined packages, but I need to be able to use it with package strings, maybe it's just not designed to accept package strings.

Thanks for the posts anyway.

How are you using this key to have the script allow you to use this php file for cpanel accounting? And where do you get this key from? I've looked in the SSL section of WHM but am a bit lost.

displaying ip

How would you be able to display the creation in thsi format:


+===================================+
| New Account Info |
+===================================+
| Domain: domain.com
| Ip: 555.555.555.55 (n)
| HasCgi: y
| UserName: username
| PassWord: password
| CpanelMod: vopanel
| HomeRoot: /home
| Quota: 50 Meg
| NameServer1: name.domain.com
| NameServer2: name2.domain.com
+===================================+


I think i can get everything other then the IP.

Any suggestions?

'[b:add53383d4](n)[/b:add53383d4]' means you [b:add53383d4]have not[/b:add53383d4] dedicated IP for this domain, yes?
[quote:add53383d4]

But why?
1. I mean you have some Array() of strings of that output
2. loop Array()
3. find IP string:

if (strstr($Array[$i], '| Ip')) {
$ip = substr($Array[$i], 6);
}
if (substr($ip, -1, 3) == '(n)') {
//Don't have [b:add53383d4]dedicated[/b:add53383d4] IP!!!
} else {
$ip = substr($ip, 0, strlen($ip) - 3);
}
4. You have (or not ) your IP in $ip

 

[anarckie]

Not sure you understood what i meant.

After creating a new account through the php script, how does the user know what their IP address is?

Like IF it was a dedicated IP, how does the user know what that is?

I need to know if theres a way to display the IP of the account just created.

Make sense?
