cPanel would like to welcome the CentOS team as an exhibitor and possible speaker at our conference!  CentOS produces the Linux distribution of choice for cPanel based servers.  The CentOS team is another reason that you need to register and attend the cPanel Conference.  Many of the best hosts in the industry rely on CentOS to power their cPanel servers and this is a prime opportunity to meet and talk to members of the CentOS team!  Don't miss it!

 

You can register for the cPanel Conference here:  http://conference.cpanel.net

One of cPanel's partner product integrators, R1Soft, will be offering a series of free webinars for cPanel server owners and administrators.  These webinars will discuss how R1's industry leading backup software can further enhance backups protect data contained on cPanel server.

As R1Soft produces software that is fully integrated with cPanel, we here at cPanel thought it appropriate to pass the information along to our user community.

Unofficially dubbed “The Unmetered Learning Tour.”
Mark you calendars as the dates for the upcoming cPanel Conference have been set and registration is now open.  If your organization uses cPanel to automate web hosting or manage dedicated servers, or you just need to rub elbows with the world's leading web hosting providers, prepare to attend what we consider to be the event of the year.

Date Change (No Sun Block Required)
October 5th, 6th, and 7th are the new dates.  It should still be warm in Houston, but it won't be the normal skin-melting temperatures that are in effect during summer.  The weather should be great.

Location Change

The location of the cPanel Conference has changed, as we selected a new hotel to accommodate more attendees.  The Conference will take place at the Houston Hilton Americas downtown.  Be sure to check out the Travel and Hotel section of the new conference site for the full details.  The venue this year is great as it's downtown.  There's more to do when you're not stuffing your head with knowledge at the Conference.

Early Bird Registration

We are discounting the price of tickets this year until August 20th.   The price until August 20th is $70.00, and after this date it will jump to $85.00.  We have a limit to the number of people who can attend, so make sure you register early to reserve your spot.  Registering early also allows us time to better plan things and make everything flow more smoothly.

Sponsors and Exhibitors

If your organization is interested in exhibiting this year, we are accepting applications!  Please fill out the online application and our event coordinators will work with you to provide the details.

Tweet, Tweet, Tweet
That’s right, we've sold out and jumped on the social media train.  It’s been a big deal signing up for a Twitter account and getting the right background setup, but we persevered and made it happen!  Updates and a few surprises this year will be revealed live from Twitter, so be sure to become a follower today!

Sessions and Activities

Past attendees will notice the familiar format, with a Monday evening network event, great food, and two days packed full of insightful product training.  From the outside, it looks very much the same as past events, but there are a few new updates you should be aware of.  This year you will be able to enjoy some advanced tracks on both cPanel and Enkompass.  Feedback from previous conferences asked for more advanced topics, and we have delivered!  We have also added some non-technical sessions, including sales-based training on both cPanel and Enkompass -- but only a few!  

Register Now! -- Space is Limited

Registering early helps us plan a better event and, unfortunately, hotels and event planning work best when we know who is coming.  If you plan on attending, it is recommended that you register early for this event to secure your seat.  Not only will you save a few dollars, it will allow us to know how many to plan for.  Please, help keep us sane and register early.

The error

If you build PHP with PEAR, and the script pear does not exist on your server, this is what happened:

  • At some point, /usr/local/bin/pear and/or /usr/bin/pear were manually removed.
  • The directories /usr/local/lib/php/.registry and/or /usr/lib/php/.registry exist.

During PHP's make install, the existence of those .registry directories cause the PEAR shell archive to think PEAR is already installed, so it skips the remainder of the PEAR build. Therefore, the bin/ files are not rebuilt.

However, if you move or delete the .registry files so that the build will complete, you lose the data about PEAR modules installed on the system.

The resolution

The best course of action is to download the PEAR tarball from http://pear.php.net/package/PEAR/download to obtain the bin/ that is missing on your server, and place it in the proper location on your system.
