cPanel Update

[Daniel_DBS]

Hey guys,

Those of you on VPS and dedicated boxes that use cPanel...

I just realized that the CP update from last night has a lot of small new features!

The build number is 19407 and it's on the release path... If you update, go to an x3 skinned cpanel and create a database or email account, and pay attention closely

[Frank Broughton]

What shall we pay close attention to?

I'll have to login and do the update and see aye?

I am updating right now....

[Daniel_DBS]

Just the little things that amuse someone like me... Go create a new DB, new email account, anything, you will notice it

Like the new feature in WHM list accounts. Me like eye candy. Nice password generator in email! Was it there before? I have not used cPanel to create email accounts in a long time. I use an WHM plugin.

[Daniel_DBS]

Yep, nice list of updates! You got 19408... I have 407, guess I will go manually take care of that

[Daniel_DBS]

Well now I am up to 19424! Talk about UPDATES!

[Frank Broughton]

I like the WHM update which shows the load avg in every page. Good to always have in front of you.

[Frank Broughton]

I just updated again and that is what I have installed now! They are on HGH now or what?

The above changes are very good! With this latest upgrade things in WHM are MUCH FASTER on my VPS! Indeed it is...

[Daniel_DBS]

that would explain why i had an email with a HUGE log file attached to it this morning from WHM backup... i was sitting there reading the log trying to see why I got it, luckily i started from the bottom up because it said backup successfully completed, no errors.

New feature in the update i guess

[Daniel_DBS]

Well Well Well Frank!

[Daniel_DBS]

WOAH! That update to 19434 seems to have solved my SLOWness problem! Before I upgraded it was taking FOREVER to do anything in cPanel and now it is fast fast fast!

[Frank Broughton]

Indeed cPanel is working very fast now. Breaking everything into modules must be the key. Speed increased with the 19429 update. Load only what ya need to start...

You here that Adobe!
