| Jan 30, 2016 at 7:45 | comment | added | EEAA Mod | OK, we're done now. This discussion is going no-where and apparently you refuse to acknowledge the reason why the community has the view it does on cPanel. | |

If it was pertaining to how do i manage my website in cpanel, this is somewhat understandable as they are a user, on a host, and likely not an admin. There are even videos of how to do literally everything from usercp side. But when it pertains to more complex management like making an adjustment that would change a setting in 4 programs, finding a compatable string for that parameter that they all support would be nice -- since they all accept the EXACT same param.

| Jan 30, 2016 at 7:43 | comment | added | EEAA Mod | Also, "generally", it's not actually true that people are adding answers to most off-topic questions. In fact, I've seen cPanel questions sit for days without an answer. Of course, it gets closed and eventually deleted automatically by the system, so you can't see those. | |
| Jan 30, 2016 at 7:40 | comment | added | EEAA Mod | Doesn't change the fact that the topic is still verboten. | |
| Jan 30, 2016 at 7:40 | comment | added | Kraang Prime | ok, so if you completely ignore the fact that generally, people are adding answers to these questions and positive comments before super meta has a chance to insta-close, means nothing right ? I am trying to be more constructive, but it's near impossible as I don't see how one can justify that 'the community' doesn't want this, when there is clearly a demand, and response. -- until meta comes along and closes. | |
| Jan 30, 2016 at 7:39 | comment | added | EEAA Mod | @SanuelJackson Did you notice that the question you linked to was indeed closed, within 2 hours of it being posted? Please, I understand that you're upset. I really do, but please try and stop with the whining and complaining. If you really want to sway opinion here, being constructive will be helpful. | |
| Jan 30, 2016 at 7:37 | comment | added | EEAA Mod | @SanuelJackson Well, 22 people up-voted this answer, if you subtract the answerer (who can't up-vote his own answer), there are only 16 50k+ users. So at least 6 others agree with us. :) | |
| Jan 30, 2016 at 7:33 | comment | added | Kraang Prime | The 'community' consisting of 50k+ reppers.... sure. ServerFault is useless if not for discussion about 'Server' administration. When you let shit like serverfault.com/questions/702383/… on, which isn't even ADMIN, that is UserCP --- so hypocritical | |
| Jan 30, 2016 at 7:33 | comment | added | EEAA Mod | @SanuelJackson I'm not going to argue this with you. You have a different opinion than the SF community. That's fine. It's clear that you feel strongly about this. Unfortunately you're unlikely to sway the community's perspective on this with questions and comments like you've been posting. I'd recommend letting this lie and using Server Fault for other topics, or just forget about the site altogether. | |

Don't use a product that hampers you from doing your job LOL. Show me one product that does everything cPanel does -- better, and I will use it. Mainly user delegation and full CP for users to administer their jailed environment auto-configurable using a secure web api. --- ready ... .GO >>

Further > cPanel messes up a server to such an extreme extent that standard sysadmin practices, tools, troubleshooting techniques no longer work > and then you must exclude pretty much every distro of linux or windows since they vary dramatically from even a tiny point revision or even installation choices, server selection, and so on. Your statement bears no prudence as to why a server running cPanel is not subject to questions about administration. If you took two seconds, you would notice that it's all the same shit as on other boxes + monitoring. Nothing super special under !

| Jan 30, 2016 at 7:24 | comment | added | Kraang Prime | If by unpopular in the community, you mean only those with 50k + rep matter, then sure, in that you may be right since it's all about quota. Easy questions = fast rep. But that question aside from 50k+ reppers, was not being recieved badly until it got run over by Michael. What you failed to understand is the issue is in regards to setting the protocols, for which, even Dovecot is a mystery. cPanel just provided a box to apply that more conveniently across basic services. | |

It was closed because the mere presence of cPanel on a server makes troubleshooting this sort of thing difficult if not impossible to do without causing the entire cPanel house of cards to fall down around you Interesting you should state that as I managed to do just that troubleshooting to go from what cPanel's PCI compliant 'B' rating to 'A-' on cPanel web services without said 'house of cards' falling down or any actual deep modifications to the system. I think you are thinking about Plesk, or if cPanel, from 1996 when linux distros themselves was not stable.

| Jan 30, 2016 at 6:10 | comment | added | Michael Hampton Mod | A careful reading of the comments of this question reveals that the user has already been in contact with cPanel and found that the functionality he wants simply is not available (yet). I cannot imagine what more he thought third parties could do. | |
