THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! omg. 2 Weeks of Googling. Posted on 50+ PHP forums. Everywhere I went I get “that’s not possible” (create a db w/o logging into cpanel) but I’ve seen other scripts do it, so I knew it was possible & it is an absolutely essential process to my site as I don’t allow my clients cPanel access to begin with.

For the record, works “out of the box” on HostGator Reseller. Plugged in a username & password & presto. I about flew out of my chair lol Thank you!!!

Whilst trying this straight out of the box (after editing my username etc) my webpage will not finish loading.

Any ideas?

It could be.

Anyway, what happens is this : the script uses CURL to access the cPanel pages. The problematic line is supposed to make the CURL functions to automatically follow HTTP redirects. You can comment out the line and, assuming that the script doesn’t encounter any redirects while doing whatever you want it to do, it should work fine.

Hello again

I looked at the php info for my server and safe mode is off. Is this error due to the other part of the error message ie “….an open_basedir is set in /home/aquarius/public_html/createdb/includes/ecurl.class.php on line 35″

Thanks

This means your server is running PHP in safe mode which is an obsolete, deprecated and wholly unpleasant mode of operation. You could try commenting out the offending line 35 in ecurl.class.php. That should get rid of the error, but I can't guarantee something else wouldn't crop up.

Hello again

Today I tried running the script and it runs but it is giving the following message:

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /home/aquarius/public_html/createdb/includes/ecurl.class.php on line 35

Can you please tell me what this error is?

Thanks,
Arvind.

That’s… interesting. I use cPanel 11 myself, so that shouldn’t be a problem. Also, as far as I can tell, there is simply no way to get an infinite loop in the script itself. I’m not so sure about the eCurl library though, so maybe using a newer version of that might help.

I suspect it’s more likely that the script makes a slow/problematic HTTP request via the eCurl library and so stays blocked forever, waiting for a request that never returns any data.

Hello

I tried creating a database using your script, and I get the following error:

503 Service Unavailable
The server is temporarily busy, try again later! Powered By LiteSpeed Web Server
LiteSpeed Technologies is not responsible for administration and contents of this web site!

I contacted my webhost, they tried running the script in Apache, but the script is basically executing in an indefinite loop without doing anything.

Is there some parameter issue or cpanel version issue here? My host uses CPanel 11.

Arvind
