TIPS AND TRICKS

The Miracles of an Automatic Free Scripts Installer

- Fantastico de Luxe Add-on for CPanel

By: Catalin Bocanu, Web News Editor

If you already have a website hosted on an Apache web server, you might notice that cPanel application is widely used by many web hosting companies. The standalone cPanel software allows you to manage all aspects of your web hosting account, such as parked domains, files upload, traffic statistics, MySQL databases, subdomains and
more.

Fantastico de Luxe is an add on for cPanel, that allows you to automatically install many open source scripts like blogs, content management systems, ecommerce applications, customer support scripts, image galleries and more. The advantage is that you will not upload your scripts on server and at the same time all other installation requirements, such as file permissions (chmod options), will be automatically set by the installer.

It provides a very friendly web browser based interface, intuitive and easy to use even by beginners. As a consequence, anyone will be able to install applications like Mambo, PHP-Nuke, OS Commerce, WordPress and others, without having knowledge of FTP (file transfer protocol), CHMOD (file permissions settings), PHP or HTML.

From the cPanel main page you must identify the Fantastico application and then, from the right menu you must select the desired application you want to install. With two or three steps, when you have to fill in some forms for the required data, the installation will finalize in less than one minute. If a MySQL database is required by the application you install, then you must define one first.

In order to create a MySQL database, from the main page of cPanel you will select phpMyAdmin or MySQL Database Wizard, depending on the version of your cPanel application. If you use MySQL Database Wizard, after you provide the database name, user name and password, it is recommended to grant all privileges to that user.

In conclusion, if you want to discover how easy it is to add open source scripts to your website, try to select a hosting service that provides Fantastico de Luxe add on for cPanel in order to experience the most confortable installation methods for your favorite open source applications.
