HostBill - ISPConfig 3 Hosting Module - Now Available!

Does phpinfo show as having soap installed? Just because apt-get shows you have it, you may need to enable it in php.ini before it works.

 

Yes it does say exactly that.

We are trying to discover what went wrong with the developer.

 

Ok, we made it work.

I created the templates and the program read them perfectly.

But as soon as I create an account, SOAP says this:

OAP Error: php_options_notempty ssh_chroot_notempty

I AM sure they are not empty and has at least one option selected. It seems it wont read the parameters correctly.

I am using ISPConfig 3.0.5 RC1

 

Templates is synonmous with hosting plan.

Template Starter
100 meg disk
3 websites
100 mailboxes

Template Business
500 meg disk space
25 websites
1000 mailboxes

Template Corporate
1 Gig disk space
unlimited websites
unlimites mailboxes

I believe the default template is set to everything be unlimited for all items such as disk, websites, mail

And yes, it helps to buy and RTFM. Helps support the developers of this fine free product.

 

Yes, I created custom templates, they got read perfectly from the plugin in hostbill, I misunderstood the general idea.

The problem is that as soon as I create the user, it reports a SOAP error with php options notempty and chroot notempty error which I read it's because they have no option there, but they have!

Then I found this:
http://bugtracker.ispconfig.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=1989

But I really can't understand that bugtracker, it is reported as a bug aparently, but as fixed but, there is no indication of what is wrong, plus I have the latest RC1 so I don't understand anymore.

I am just shocked as how nobody seems to really care that there is no solution to this problem, no plugin that appears to be working and none that seems to need it for this platform.

I guess I should ditch ispconfig3 and start working with a panel that has an actual plugin bridge that works with hostbill.

 

FYI: I did bought the manual, two copies to be precise, to help the developers, but I'm still alone in this matter.

 

I am sorry about that, I didn't knew the SVN version was available, I'm going to try that!

Oh and I am sorry about my last post, it wasn't meant to sound that way, you had the best intentions helping me and you're right that it's the developer whom I bought the plugin the one helping me.

Will download the latest SVN and test things out!


Thank you again Till.

 

So, after much waiting, the developer informed me that this plugin WILL NOT work with ispconfig3 version 3.5 so... there it goes my 49 dollars

For all users waiting to try this plugin on ispconfig3, DON'T.

The developer informed me that it will take some time to make this plugin works with version 3.5 so i'm basically stuck.

Anyone got the ispconfig that came with hostbill to work with ispconfig 3.5 ?

 

It has been several days since you've responded to your support ticket. Since the official release of ISPConfig 3.0.5, there is a new download available for this plugin which is compatible. You can get it from the same download link you received with your purchase.

For all users wanting to try this plugin, it has been redeveloped and tested to work with ISPConfig 3.0.5.

 

Hello desanidesigns,

as you're reading this thread, I would like to ask to for more information with your plugin.

I'm looking at automatic a pool of ispconfig servers, mostly handling web sites+mail, but provisioning dns would be nice too.

Ideally, you'll have a pool of web servers and respective IP range and you would add a new site to the servers in a round-robin (to start with) fashion to each of these servers, until a they're full with a preselected number of sites.

I'm willing to *pay* for a more professional module for hostbill and I guess many of us trying to use ispconfig beyound the single server small-shop.

That's great news !

I didn't see any e-mail informing of the new version so I assumed it was not ready yet.

Sorry about that.

 

It works ! it works !!! it worksss !!!!!!!


THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!

 

This is definitely something worth looking into, the main restriction will be how we are able to work with the round-robin from within HostBill and keeping track of how many accounts have been added to each server and which server was last used in the chain.

If this is something you're really wanting to pursue, please PM me and we can discuss in detail what may be needed.

Thanks,
Devan

 

Yes, I'd be interested. Strict round-robin may not be necessary. Just find the server with less accounts on it. Ties will resolve themselfes automagically.

I'm not sure how and where hostbill allows you to keep data for the module. Either you "select count(accounts) from ispconfig_servers group by server_id" or you use the API to ispconfig to find out which is the server with less accounts and use it.

A real professional look would be to implement the ispconfig panel inside hostbill client area. When a client logins in hostbill and clicks on its service "manage" button, your module shall lookup on which server that particular domain is hosted and connect the customer to the ispconfig interface (ideally within hostbill interface).

You can have a look at the proxmox module and see how consoles for VPS are handled within hostbill.

I the above looks nice to you let's talk via pm for implementation details

ispcomm

I'm not sure if desanidesigns is still working on his module (seems he's deep into android programming now).

any chances to have some updates on the status of this module and the multi-server patches I was referring to ?

thanks.

 

This program won't work in a multiserver atmosphere. Performs in only one server atmosphere. If you want to buy my duplicate I will offer it for 50% off.

 

I could use is as a basis for a properly working module. Can you tell me with that type of encoder it is encrypted (or is it encrypted at all?)

If you're not sure, you can send me a single encrypted file from the module so I can check myself.

I have been actually chilled by current hostbill policy changes. It seems that they're not allowing third part modules any more.

If this is the case, I might as well pass and use whmcs as everybody else.
