Overview

Softaculous for H-Sphere is very simple to install. H-Sphere is a Clustered Shared Hosting Management Software. Hence Softaculous will have to be installed on each slave seperately. A small installation script has to be run on the Master as well to setup the links.

Requirements

• A CP Server (Master) server with H-Sphere Linux (Required version 3.5+)
• On master server first you will have to enable the API. To enable the API please go through the following link :Enabling API
• A Slave server with H-Sphere Linux (Required version 3.5+)
• PHP with IonCube
• PHP with Posix Extenstion

Note : Please allow access to the following domains to your firewall as these are the mirrors used to download the script packages.
