Install phpMyAdmin to Parallels Helm control panel as an application package

I tried recently to add phpmyadmin on my parallels helm control panel but found little help from the forums and found the developers documents poor (as usual for Helm).

I decided to create my own phpmyadmin parallels helm application package. Please note that the package requries:

- Parallels helm already installed.
- Application packages module installed on Helm

Upload the zip file to your packages directory using the Helm control panel

Home > Helm System > APS Package Pool

Provided you got the packages enabled to your different plans the customers should be able to see it available for install under

Home > My Domains > yourdomain.com > Application Packs

The item installs phpMyAdmin 3.2.0.1

Please note that this installer will not store the username and password for your domain but will ask you to type it instead. You can change this by going into the confign.inc.php file and changing

/* Authentication type */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
//$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = '[$Domain.Name]';
//$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '[$Domain.Owner.PrimaryUser.Password]'; // use here your password

to

/* Authentication type */
//$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = '[$Domain.Name]';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '[$Domain.Owner.PrimaryUser.Password]'; // use here your password

Please note that it will select user to be the domain name (for example mydomain.com) and the password to be the domain onwer primary password (this would be the primary login password for the account). You can change these values to anything you want. Read more on the laconic page from parallels here.

This application pack is free but you must not remove grumpynut.com comments from the code. Please note that no waranties are made whatsoever and no liability will be accepted!

Download it at http://parallelshelmph.sourceforge.net

Install squirrelmail to Parallels Helm 4.1 as an application package (APS)

I recently needed to be able to offer squirrelmail 1.4 to customers using Parallels Helm 4.1

I downloaded the latest version of squirrelmail and bundled it up so that it can be added as a package in the control panel.

The config file is based on the original sample config file provided in the parallels sample application package. GUID created using this tool.

Please note

The way the config is setup it will create the following two directories which are above the web root of the domain (this is recommended by the squirrelmail documentation).

private/squirrelmail/data
private/squirrelmail/attach

Once installed your clients will be able to access this package through their Helm control panel at

Home > My Domains > yourdomain.com > Application Packs

Enjoy!

ps: as usual no waranties made and no liabilities accepted. Any questions let me know!
