CPX Control Panel


The CPX: Control Panel provides an intuitive Web interface to administer your private server. The interface enables you to perform user and domain management tasks. It also provides a Web-based email interface and mail management modules and empowers virtual sub hosting on your private server. CPX enables you to create domain administrators with user management control. This enables each sub host and its respective end users the ability to configure and control their own accounts.

CPX includes the following modules:
  • File Management -- This module enables you to navigate through directories, view and edit text files, download and upload files, create or delete files and directories, rename or move files and directories, and view and edit permissions.
  • Webmail - An email management interface to read, store and compose email, manage folders, apply spam filters, store contact information, and manage automated replies (Autoreply).
  • User Management -- The user management module enables you to add or delete users, manage domain admin accounts, and view the status of user accounts.
  • Domain Management -- Manage your domains easily with the ability to add or delete sub hosts, specify limits on the number of users and email accounts, manage logs, and specify catchall email rules.
  • Mail Management -- This module provides the management of email to add or delete email aliases, edit account settings, or even configure broadcast lists.
  • Profile and Preferences -- Customize your settings to your personal preferences. Change your password, shell, and the date/time display for your private server.
Due to the high number of possible account configurations or modifications, there is no guarantee that CPX will perform reliably on previously configured accounts. CPX is designed and tested for new server configurations and a small number of existing configurations.

The CPX installation utility (vinstall) makes the following changes to your private server:
  • Upgrade of Perl.
  • Installation of mod_perl and mod_rewrite.
  • Installation the Control Panel handler for mod_perl.
  • Installation of ClamAV, SpamAssassin, and Procmail (configured as the sendmail local delivery agent).
  • Modification existing ClamAV and SpamAssassin installations.
  • Install Savelogs (or upgrade if previously installed).
  • Initiation of the Control Panel daemon vsapd.
  • Creation of virtusertable entries for existing mail users, as well as addition of default catchalls for all domains (as found in /etc/mail/local-host-names).
Follow these steps to install CPX on your private server.
  1. Connect to your private server by means of SSH and issue this command:

    # vinstall cpx
  2. Access CPX by going to the following URL:

    https://YOUR-DOMAIN.NAME/ControlPanel/
You control whether virtual users are enabled to use the Webmail and Profile/Preferences features of CPX. Add new users by using the CPX: Control Panel or by command line issuing the following command:
# vadduser --cpx
