Many of the day-to-day account management tasks can now be performed through CPX. In addition to user and domain management, CPX also offers an enhanced web-based email interface and mail management modules.

One of the key benefits of CPX is how it empowers virtual subhosts on VPS v2 accounts. CPX was designed in a tiered model, giving you the ability to create domain administrators with end user management control. This allows each subhost and its respective end users the ability to setup and control their own accounts.

The initial release of CPX includes the following modules:

• Webmail

A full-featured email management interface to read, store and compose email, manage folders, apply spam filters, store contact information, and manage autoresponders.

• User Management

The user management module allows you to add or delete users, manage domain admin accounts, and view the status of user accounts.

• Domain Management

Manage your domains easily with the ability to add or delete sub-hosts, set limits on the number of users and email accounts, manage logs, and setup catchall email rules.

• Mail Management

This module provides the management of email so you can easily add or delete email aliases, edit account settings, or even setup broadcast lists.

• Profile and Preferences

Customize your settings to your personal preferences. Change your password, shell and even the date/time display for your account.

Installation

To install CPX on a VPS v2 account use the vinstall utility.

% vinstall cpx

The installer will make the following changes to your server setup:
• Upgrade Perl to 5.8.4
• Install mod_perl if necessary
• Install mod_rewrite if necessary
• Install the ControlPanel handler for mod_perl
• Install ClamAV, SpamAssassin, and procmail.
• Existing ClamAV and SpamAssassin installations will be slightly modified to work with CPX
• Install savelogs (or upgrade to 1.81) if necessary
• Start the control panel daemon 'vsapd'
• Create virtusertable entries for existing mail users as well as add default catchalls for all domains (as found in /etc/mail/local-host-names)

You can access CPX by going to the following URL:

http://YOUR-DOMAIN.NAME/ControlPanel/

Any virtual subuser setup in CPX can use the Webmail and Profile/Preferences features of CPX.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that you read the Installation Advisory before installing CPX on any existing accounts

CPX will not run on Original VPS (v1) accounts To take advantage of CPX you will need to upgrade your account to the VPS v2 platform. Your Virtual Server can be upgraded at anytime by contacting us and requesting the upgrade.
