Account Backup and Restoration
When restoring backups from read-only media a working directory is created in a suitable, writable location. The location is determined by the same function used during account creation, based upon the HOMEDIR and HOMEMATCH values in /etc/wwwacct.conf. The backup is extracted into the working directory, then the restoration occurs. Afterwards, the working directory is cleared.
The cpmove file location is now output at the end of the packaging process. Prior versions dispalyed it earlier in the process, risking losing the location due to terminal scroll buffer constraints.
Streaming support, introduced in cPanel™ 11.24, received various performance improvements. When the Express Transfer method is used with streaming, zone activation is deferred until the end of the account restoration process. This resolves an issue that occurs when transferring accounts among servers within a DNS cluster.
A Select All button was added to the Express Transfer column in the Multiple Account Transfer interface.
The transfer system now detects when the remote or local servers run out of disk space. The errors are captured and the administrator is notified.
Account Transfers cPanel 11.25.0 Release Feature Updates
For cPanel™ to cPanel™ transfers, the single and multiple account transfer interfaces in WHM now provide the ability to skip the home directory when packaging an account. This allows you to reduce the amount of time a transfer takes and choose a more efficient method to transfer the user’s home directory.
The cPanel™ version of the remote server is auto-detected for cPanel™-to-cPanel™ account transfers. The Remote Server Type menu in the transfer interface is updated to reflect this change.
When transferring a mixture of reseller and non-reseller accounts using the Multiple Account Transfer interface, the resellers will transer first. Prior cPanel™ versions would iterate through the users alphabetically.
Apache Handlers For cPanel version 11.30
Apache handlers control how your site’s Apache web server software manages certain file types and file extensions.
Apache comes configured to handle CGI scripts and server-parsed files. Their file extensions include: .cgi, .pl, .plx, .ppl, .perl, and .shtml.
You can configure Apache to handle a new file type with an existing handler by manually adding the handler and extension to cPanel.
For example, to have the server treat files with the extension .example as CGI files, you would type ”cgi-script” under Handler and “.example” under Extension(s).
