Modified webcp.php daemon (part 1)

0 Comments

Here recently I was hired by a company to build 4 things.

1. Apache cluster
2. MySQL cluster
3. QMail cluster
4. Backend connection to automate email account creation after subscription.

Well, I planned it out and then had a great idea. Back when I was REALLY active in the webcp project I did a centralized version of webcp that could control an entire server farm from one main Admin server. O.K. my ex-boss still has the code, but I wrote it right? Not the webcp project, I mean the code that centralized the server control and automated account creation based on historical server load. Worked really nice, unfortunately my ex-boss, at adnewmedia GmbH, decided he would keep the code after the company went belly-up and I was unemployeed.

How about if I just simplified the webcp daemon and changed it over to read the tags from a mysql table?

To make a long story short. It works. grins. In part 2 of this little tale I will publish the entire code for the daemon as well as offer it (and it's support files) for download.Here recently I was hired by a company to build 4 things.
