HOW-TO: (cPanel/WHM) Upgrading Fantastico for WHM Admin

[NIS-Francisco]

The following commands will allow you to upgrade your Fantastico 2.8.8 r11 to LATEST version, which includes the fantastico Administation built into WHM, you no longer need a cPanel account to have the Fantastico administration in.

Run the following commands in shell as ROOT.

cd /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi
wget http://www.netenberg.com/files/free/fantastico_whm_admin.tgz
tar -xzpf fantastico_whm_admin.tgz
rm -rf fantastico_whm_admin.tgz

Each line is a different command, so beware.

Now go to WHM, login as root and follow the link WHM -> Add-Ons -> Fantastico De Luxe WHM Admin. Upon loading, Fantastico De Luxe WHM Admin will auto-update your existing installation. All admin files (masterfiles, tarballs, settings etc) will be moved to /var/netenberg.

Fantastico (netenberg) official announcement:

IMPORTANT: MANUAL UPDATE NEEDED
Fantastico De Luxe 2.10.0 r1 (LATEST and STABLE releases)

Updates:
None

Changes/Fixes:

Fantastico De Luxe Admin is now moved to WHM Add-Ons. What this means is:

- In order to upgrade from 2.8.8 r11 (or older) to 2.10.0 r1 (or newer) you need to follow the UPDATED installation instructions as listed below and in the FAQ section of our forum.
- After following the instructions below, you will access the admin section through WHM -> Add-Ons -> Fantastico De Luxe WHM Admin.
- You can no more access the admin section through a "Fantastico Administration" link in CPanel (please update your bookmarks).
- This will make our Features Sets, Usage Rules and Installations Overview compatible with the new strict permissions that CPanel applies to certain files (among them httpd.conf).
- Additionally you will no more need to assign an account as the Fantastico Admin. If you have created an account for solely this purpose, you may remove it after successful upgrade to 2.10.0 r1 (provided that this account holds no other important data).
- NOTE 1 for CPanel STABLE users: Fantastico End User fronted will produce a parse error if you run STABLE 10.2.0-83 and the permissions of httpd.conf have changed from 644 (as expected by CPanel STABLE 10.2.0-83) to 600. This may have happened through upgrading and then downgrading CPanel. Please be aware that CPanel STABLE 10.2.0-83 expects httpd.conf to be set to 644.
- NOTE 2 for CPanel STABLE users: When running CPanel STABLE, Fantastico can not install on subdomains/addon domains. This will change when a STABLE version of CPanel newer than 10.2.0-STABLE_83 will come out (expected any day).
