I wanted to give OpenBH a try by installing it on a lot of subdomains. There is no way that I am going to waste a few days by copying and pasting the OpenBH files and then installing each one by hand.
Let’s see…
As OpenBH is made for Cpanel, I will also create a Cpanel installer.
A quick summary of what the installer is going to do:
- Create FTP account
- Create subdomain
- Upload a zip with the OpenBH files
- Unzip
- Finish the OpenBH installations (keywords etc)
- Clean up
Sadly I couldn’t find a way to unzip the zip into another directory. If there is a way to do this, please leave a comment as it would save a ton of wasted bandwidth and time.
First we will have to grab OpenBH here: https://www.syndk8.com/openbh
Make sure you create a custom zipfile because otherwise it will just install into a subfolder.
I was quite glad when I found out that Cpanel offers an API. I didn’t like the thought of having to write a scraper for the admin interface that might even break depending on the selected design.
First, let’s grab the xmlapi-php from Cpanel’s github: https://github.com/CpanelInc/xmlapi-php
Then create another php file with the following script in the same folder. Put the openbh.zip in the same folder as well.
Please note that this will only create a single subdomain and upload an unzip openbh.zip. I will talk about the OpenBH installation and automation of multiple installs in a later post. Of course this script can be used for anything else as well. Get creative.

Hot damn, looking pertty useful buddy.
Appreiate your ithsgins. I have PowerPoint and .pdf’s along with audios and videos to upload. And I was happy for a refesher of how to do that. Cheers!.
The setup is hfpuell, but can you expand upon this with assistance on how to create a user and then set up access to a specific folder? I can’t seem to get this to work at all… and I thought I was pretty computer-savy. The new windows 7 administrative configuration is definitely giving me problems. Thank you in advance!

Hi Caucus,One of the first thigns you should do when reading a book about computing is to read the book’s updates and corrections page. A book represents a fixed moment in time. Sometimes there are mistakes or misprints. Often, there are new developments with the software.Both Apache and PHP are “a program that works”. If you look at the updates pages on the friends of ED site, you will find up-to-date information. You’ll also find detailed instructions in the Tutorials section of this site for using the .If you want help, you also need to be more precise in your description of what happens. Saying that “PHP is a no go” tells me nothing, apart from the fact that it doesn’t work. You need to describe what happens. You also need to say which versions you’re using, and which operating system. Vista is different from XP.It’s also better to post requests for help in a public forum, such as the one at friends of ED, rather than in an author’s blog. I’m up to my eyeballs in writing a book about Dreamweaver CS3, so don’t get much chance to devote to troubleshooting installation problems. In a public forum, there’s the likelihood that someone else might be able to come to your assistance more quickly.
