Hello and thanks!

  • Hello to everyone at imscp! I'm new here but really love imscp and am really thankful for all the work you guys have put into it. You're one of the few people who know what a USER needs in a hosting panel, as well as providers.
    I have a few questions to ask, and I've noticed some other users getting angry with people who ask questions that have been answered before, but I want to point out that there doesn't seem to be a search function on your forum, and it's hard to know what answers apply to what versions of imscp.
    I've installed imscp twice now, the first time I made the mistake of opting for pydio filemanager instead of net2ftp, and couldn't figure out how to change, so did a complete server re-install.
    Now, I've just noticed that a user can have unlimited sub-domains, but only one domain..is that right or have I missed something?
    Also, just browsing the forums here, it seems that the plug-ins are not compatible with version 1.2.2 if obtained from git. Is that right too? Does that mean I need to re-install again?
    Sorry if these questions have been answered elsewhere, it really isn't so easy to find the answers I need by browsing the forums.


    Finally, I want to say thanks again....I've tried and tested almost every open source control panel out there, and Sentora comes close to being excellent...BUT..IMSCP is just one tiny step away from perfect!

  • Welcome!


    The search feature is right up top ;)


    A user is the owner of 1 domain and that is also the login account.
    A user can add alias domains so he can manage those as well. You could concider those dedicated domains, but managed with one i-MSCP account.


    1.2.3 will be released very soon, because of this the plugins are updated.
    The latest versions have had some bigger changes, including a new API version (which essentially means that new plugins do not work with 1.x)


    So if you just install your plugins now you'll be fine, you can upgrade when 1.2.3 comes out.
    Read the errdata inside the package or on Github, then follow the instructions: http://wiki.i-mscp.net/doku.php?id=start:upgrade:debian
    Essentially this is a re-install, but all your files and settings are stored and will be used to configure the server.
    You can change the FTP client with this installer too, use the -h function to see all options, look for webftp or filemanager (not sure)


    Good luck with your installation!

  • Theemstra: Thanks for filling me in....I can't believe I missed the search feature!
    Also, I can't express enough how happy I am with imscp, it's the only open source panel that has given me confidence to get my online projects going.
