Forcing adverts on certain websites

[HH-Steven]

Ok, so i'm looking for a solution so that i can place adverts on users who are using a specific hosting package.

I know there is quite a few scripts out there but i seem to be hitting a brick wall when it comes to using mod_layout.

Everywhere i read it seems that mod_layout is no longer supported?

If this is correct can someone suggest an alternative? preferably automated signup and ad placement.

Cheers.

Hello

There are currently no existing features with cPanel that would automate this. However, feel free to open a feature request for this in the following forum:

Feature Requests for cPanel/WHM

Thank you.

Hi Michael & thank you for the response.

I know cPanel has nothing built in to do this but there are a variety of scripts out there which can.

All of which seem to use mod_layout which if im correct is no longer supported?

Basically, what im asking is:

Is mod_layout no longer supported?

If not, is there any alternatives to using mod_layout?

Thanks.

Hello,

Is mod_layout no longer supported?

There is a release of it for Apache 2.2 here:

mod_layout

There are online guides on installing it with cPanel such as this one:

Linux Tips: Install mod_layout

There is a forum thread approximately a year ago indicating another user followed the guide to get it working:

http://forums.cpanel.net/f5/mod_layout-installed-but-not-phpinfo-172049.html

As such, my question would be--what has been done specifically to install and test mod_layout thus far?

I haven't used it personally, but I can say that I see no updates to mod_layout since 2008. The idea of support can mean a lot of things. It does appear to have an Apache 2.2 version, which means it should hopefully install and work, so it is supported for Apache 2.2 to install. The creator doesn't seem to be updating it, so there is a lack of support for updates by the mod_layout creator.

As for us supporting mod_layout, cPanel does not support any third party Apache modules that we do not provide in EasyApache. You are welcome to install such modules, but we do not support and have not supported mod_layout.

Thanks!

Thank you everyone for your replys so far but i still can't seem to get it working.

I've followed the guides linked to by Tristan

My httpd.cnf shows:

LoadModule layout_module /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_layout.so

The virtual host shows:

<VirtualHost 123.456.789.10:80>
    ServerName sub.domain.info
    ServerAlias www.sub.domain.info
LayoutHeader /home/username/public_html/includes/adsh.html
LayoutFooter /home/username/public_html/includes/adsf.html

# /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -M

Shows:

layout_module (shared)

http/apache has been restarted.

Server has been rebooted.

But still no ads showing on the sites so at a bit of a loss here.....
