Repeater on cPanel/WHM

Post by PaulD »

Hi, I started looking at ChunkVNC a few days ago and realised I needed an external repeater to be able to support my clients, so I've wrapped Karl Runge's perl script into a WHM plugin. I'm looking for a few users with cpanel servers to test for me. Is there any interest ?

It's working well for me, but I only have one or two clients at a time, so thought I'd try and share.

Regards
Paul

Awesome, I'd love to test that!

Let me know if you'd like FTP access to chunkvnc.com for file sharing.

PHP followed are disabled by security : passthru(), set_time_limit(), popen(), exec(), shell_exec(), system() et proc_open().

if no, perfect.
if yes, i must cancel web hosting.

It's all perl or shell script, as far as I'm aware there's no security issues if you're running cPanel/WHM.

Hi all,

Just to clear any confusion, this is a plugin for running on a server which uses whm/Cpanel hosting software. It's probably one of the best known solutions, but you will need root access to install and run it. The ease of running it with a gui means that you can turn it off when you don't need it and keep some sort of security. I'm working on a few checks and some documentation and i'll release it.

This has been the bummer part for me, I have a shared hosting account that uses cPanel but they obviously don't allow me root access.

Non the less really great work putting this in a package, I'm sure people will find it useful.
