How to install Fantastico.

Hi,

Today i am installing fantastico on my linux server but i am getting some problem.I have installed properly but i am not able to see Fantastico in Cpanel so i searched on google and found a solution after a long time so i thought for people who are suffering from same problem so i put this article on my site for the Linux guys ……………..

# SSH to your server and enter following commands:

————————————————————————————————————————————-

cd /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi

wget -N http://files.betaservant.com/files/free/fantastico_whm_admin.tgz

tar -xzpf fantastico_whm_admin.tgz

rm -rf fantastico_whm_admin.tgz

————————————————————————————————————————————-

NOTE: if you have problems contacting this server, please try this alternate location:

wget -N http://netenberg.com/files/free/fantastico_whm_admin.tgz

————————————————————————————————————————————-

Go to WHM, login as root and click on Tweak Settings, then you should ensure that both the Ioncube loader is selected for the backend copy of PHP. Save changes.

Now go here:
WHM -> Add-Ons (Plugins on v11.x or higher) -> Fantastico De Luxe WHM Admin (scroll down the left menu).

Upon loading, Fantastico De Luxe WHM Admin will auto-update your existing installation (if existing). All admin files (masterfiles, tarballs, settings etc) will be moved to or created at /var/netenberg.

————————————————————————————————————————————-

After the installation is complete, click on “Settings” and go through the settings. While some settings are not important, some other (marked below with an *) are essential for a proper functioning of Fantastico installations.
Language: Select the language for the admin backend AND default language for users without a language selected.
Email notifications: Enter an email address in order to receive notifications when users perform installations using Fantastico.
Master files settings (*): If you are not an advanced user who modifies the master files, leave this to “Remove”. Change this only if you know what you are doing.
PHPsuexec (*): VERY ESSENTIAL!!! Changing this value will not install or de-install phpsuexec for you. It will only tell Fantastico that you have phpsuexec installed or not installed on your server. Change to “installed” if you perform installations which produce an “Internal Server Error”. Notice: Changes will not apply to existing installations! You have to re-install in order to have working installations.
Path to netPBM: Enter the full path to the netPBM binaries in order to enable Gallery installations. As long as this field has no value, your users will not be able to install Gallery.
Select Fantastico licensing and files server: If the Fantastico pages take long to load switch to the server that works best for you. Fantastico will auto-switch if connections time out.
Update preference: Select latest version (sometimes experimental) or stable version (best working).

————————————————————————————————————————————-

Now you have installed Fantastico perfectly.Go to Cpanel and check it r u able to see Fantastico under Cpanel or not ? If you are not able to see then Follow the steps.

————————————————————————————————————————————-

If it is wget-1.10.2-3.3.fc5 or wget-1.10.2-8.fc6.1, or any version that yum installs on those OSes (they will typically end with .fc5 or .fc6 or .el5) we suggest that you replace it immediately with an older and/or stabler version. This version does not honor the “-P” switch.

An alternate version that we know works is wget-1.10.2-3.2.1 (though more recent versions should also work).

You can use the following commands for this purpose.

For 32-bit:

————————————————————————————————————————————–

rpm -qa wget ;

wget ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/wget-1.10.2-3.2.1.i386.rpm

chattr -ia /usr/bin/wget

rpm -e wget ;

rpm -ivh –force wget-1.10.2-3.2.1.i386.rpm ;

rpm -qa wget ;
————————————————————————————————————————————–
For 64-bit:

————————————————————————————————————————————–

rpm -qa wget ;

wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Everything/x86_64/os/Fedora/wget-1.10.2-15.fc7.x86_64.rpm ;

chattr -ia /usr/bin/wget

rpm -e wget ;

rpm -ivh –force wget-1.10.2-15.fc7.x86_64.rpm ;
