Testing InterWorx CP 4.0

Hello.

We are searching for an alternative control panel and found InterWorx CP.
So far, we have a test server with a InterWorx demo license.
It’s looking very good and it seems pretty good for our needs.

A couple of questions (other will come as we are using InterWorx CP):

  1. We need to use only one Webmail solution. As we see, there are 3 installed: RoundCube, SquirrelMail, Horde. There is a way to select the webmail at setup time ?

  2. Plesk has a nice way to use webmail.domain.tld for every domain. How can we achieve that in InterWorx-CP ? Also, without putting user to select the webmail app ?

  3. Still at webmail stage: Is there a way to use AtMail instead of RoundCube ?

  4. InterWorx-CP installs for statistics purposes: Webalizer, AW Stats, Analog. Can we select only one at setup ?

Regards,
Sorin Pohontu

Hello, thanks for your interest in InterWorx! I’ll answer as best I can below.

  1. All three are installed automatically. Currently, you can remove them individually (they’re separate rpm packages) but they would still show up in the selector. I’ve just logged a bug about this, so a future release/update should detect whether the packages are installed.

  2. We don’t create a subdomain, but do create http://domain.tld/webmail. This is the “webmail chooser”. Also created is /roundcube, /horde, and /squirrelmail, which are direct links to each program.

  3. No, not through InterWorx. As it’s just an application, you could certainly install it and use it, but it would not be managed via InterWorx.

  4. All three install; you can easily disable them individually using the “Settings” page.

Hope that helps!

Hello and thanks for the answers.

  1. You should add this as a feature at install point. I think, as an intermediate solution, that we can use $yumargs in iworx-cp-install.sh. It should not be very hard for you to implement this to make it selectable :wink:

  2. Plesk does not create a “real” subdomain webmail.domain.tld.
    Each domain has an A pointer to main IP, webmail.domain.tld. IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, easy to achieve by DNS template.

Apache has a VirtualHost defined:

ServerName webmail
ServerAlias webmail.*
UseCanonicalName Off

I was trying to replicate this behaviour in my test install, but I had some problems with permission using suPHP. Any ideea ?

  1. If you let the user to select which webmail app should be installed in your default install (or even none), could be added later. I’ll try that and let you know :slight_smile:

  2. I’ll take a look, should be selectable also on install.

Also, a few more questions about Load Balanced Clustering

  1. If the servers are located in the same datacenter, but on different IP class, why it’s not possible to add a new server ? There are on the same physical network ?

  2. As I see on help pages, the cluster is using a NFS share to serve all the clients. How can I specify which mount point will be used for the NFS share ?

Hello in 2010 !
Any news ? I looked at the changelog and my questions doesn’t seem to be answered.

Re: 5. It’s due to the way the load balancing software is configured. It uses LVS+DR (direct routing) and one of the requirements of that is that the IPs be on the same network segment.

Re: 6. All you have to do is make the /home directory on the cluster manager point to the external NAS, prior to the initial interworx cluster setup.
