Ok everytime i click on fantastico i get 404 error page. It says it cannot be found. Can someone tell me if trap17 have got rid of it or if there is a problem with my account. Thanks

i wish i could help. same 404 error on access of fantastico on my cpanel, that i can confirm. let's wait for admin resolution on this, as this concerns cpanel and features set up on it.

Thank's Serverph, i was wondering if anyone else was having this problem. And that has cleared it up so thanks

Yes i too get that problem it has been on since yesterday and i really need to install a support system. I guess we can all wait.

From what I observed and only taking a guess on this was that when Cpanel got upgraded the fantastico license had to be renewed/reinstalled in order to for everyone to used it and so it was not loaded. However, with the problems everyone was experiencing with the upgrade, they had to bring back the old cpanel to fix most of the problems everyone was having with their account. If I remember correctly you have to installed fantastico to the CPanel since it's a separate package from cpanel when you purchase it and so when it was downgraded this didn't happen.

So most likely we won't see fantastico until either the upgrade or when the admin get the free chance to install it back on to the cpanel again. But during this time I would highly recommend going the manual path of installing software so not only will you be able to figure out how it's done you have the experience to solve others questions when they install it and what not.

SM just wondering if you have already fixed your Fantastico if so, any tut on how to do it, step by step. that would be nice for us who are not to sure on how to do it.

i'd say that would be a negative. fantastico can be setup/enabled/disabled on cpanel by hosting admins only. what SM is trying to say is, if it would take long to have fantastico back on our hosting cpanels, then it would be better to just simply install the application you intend to setup via fantastico -- on a manual basis. that is, download the application from the source, upload files on your hosting, create your database (if it needs one), and setup permissions and configurations accordingly. for example you'd like wordpress installed; instead of waiting for fantastico back, just go to wordpress.org, download the latest release of the script, upload the wordpress files on the server, setup a database that it will use, and configure it. the same goes for other scripts you'd normally auto-install via fantastico. it would have to be done on a manual basis until the time fantastico goes back up again.

if anybody struggles to have a script installed the manual way on trap17 servers, just ask for support by creating a thread in our forums here. do a search as well, as it may have been tackled before already. we'll be glad to assist if we can.

I suppose admins are still dealing with the problems derivated from the necessary hdd change some weeks ago. So we can do nothing but be patient. Anyway, as Sm said, Fantastico is not so vital, you can make your website without it, probably it's more difficult but you'll learn more things that definitely a good webmaster should know. In fact I've never used it.

Ahh I see, and I kinda thought that but I wasnt sure , what exactly SM was talking about, but i did =think to just go and download what I needed..
