I am working on some Drupal websites.
The Drupal websites are managed by AEgir hosting system.
Can AEgir get into the file folder to add/edit the Drupal files there?
AEgir is something like cPanel? Looks not.
If it is not like cPanel.
So I still need to get Control Panel from web hosting company?
I mainly need to get into the file, code, database... SHELL / FTP into the server machine.
From the AEgir project:
"A Drupal based hosting frontend or control panel for managing your entire network of websites."
But also: Can Aegir be installed next to CPanel/Plesk/AlternC/etc? The anwer is No!
Check the AEgir Distribution page and the AEgir Handbook.
You may probably need to find the 'hostmaster Drupal profile', which will use to manage all of the sites you host.
There are also some Contrib Modules for more tasks.
Hope that helped!

I hired a developer to stand up my website. I had already created a WordPress install on AWS lightsail. The developer says he needs cpanel in order to finish the work (header/footer code, configuration etc...). I was hoping to do this as cheaply as possible and it seems like cpanel would add $15 a month. Is it really needed? Any alternatives?
Looked at AWS docs on alternatives but didn't find anything.
cPanel is a hosting control panel to manage a website and server. It seems that you have already hosted and configured your server without cPanel. For developers, they should be able to manage and customize your website using FTP and WordPress admin details and it does not require from Development point of view.
Even if you are planning to add cPanel to your server, you will have to reinstall your server from scratch because cPanel requires a fresh server without any software, data or website.
I am new to wordpress and loged in to my cPanel account and getting the message.
After research I found that I have to upgrade to wordpress toolkit.
But, Wordpress toolkit is not showing anywhere on cPanel. I would login to Wordpress admin dashboard.
thelearningcenter.pk/wp-login.php
Any idea how to do that. I also change the wordpress admin password but still not able to login. Or my hosting company in charge to upgrade? Or I have to find myself?
Any suggestion or recommendation or step by step reference doc/links from you will be appreciated.
First, take a full backup on your hosting. Re-download Wordpress after backup. After accessing your server with FTP, upload the existing wp.config.php and wp-content directory into the newly downloaded wordpress. In this way, you can reload the core modules of Wordpress without damaging the content of your website.
Use the instant full backup you have to go back in case of any problem.
I hope it solves your problem.
From here we can read:
Though still available as an option, the WordPress Manager interface
is deprecated. Customers can now use WordPress Toolkit to install and
manage WordPress. The WordPress Manager interface (cPanel >> Home >>
Applications >> WordPress Manager) allows you to install and manage
new or existing WordPress® sites within your cPanel interface.
In the order, I would:
check if you can install the WordPress Toolkit from the WHM Marketplace
if you have SSH access, install it using the manual way
If it's not installed, and you cannot install it, because no Marketplace or manual installation is possible: contact your host.
If you installed yourself Cpanel on your server, then you should have required access to upgrade it or its dependencies.
Trying to figure the best way to develop on plesk.
I would like to develop my wordpress website on a temporary url, and attach the production domain only when I am done developing.
From some reason I'm getting various dns errors, saw a guide referring to change of hosts file but it dosent seem like the perfect solution to me.
Any tips?
You may create the clone of your WP instance (staging) and use Plesk Git extension for developing this staging WP site. After making all necessary changes on staging non-public clone you can publish it to a production domain to make it publicly available.
We have a linux based server through which we offer a hosting service. We have a problem with WordPress and other platforms. each wordpress site asks FTP accounts every time you install WordPress, themes, add ons or to try to upgrade it .
We need to get write access to the wordpress , joomla , drupal , etc. platforms automatically when its installed to customers server space via softaculus .
I have no experience of the hosting service, im just make websites, and I've tried to make the ftp accounts wp -config file, but it does not fix the other customer sites and when added to the wp -config file, it is not the best solution (Still asks for a password when install theme, add ons or update anything)
Sorry for bad english. can anyone help me to get this problem fixed?
We need write acces for: Joomla, Wordpress, Drupal, Magent ETC bases. We have c-panel acces for every customer and softaculus installer for wordpress etc platforms
When you get the error message, web server needs to get write access to the WordPress files. So you can add write access to the files, I think the problem will resolved.
If you couldn't add write access to the files, you would contact your hosting service center.
It's most likely the permissions problems here.
You need to be sure that your webserver can read all files and folders in the web root folder and you need to make every user the owner of each folder and files.
Using cPanel it should be done automatically when you create FTP user and providing it's home directory. If you have a mess with permissions already you may need to edit them manually. You can try to set 644 permission for all files and folders and then change owner to the actual user.
Look here for more information about file permissions on Linux, it should help.
Its been fixed, I set on apache write access different so its now working probably!

Is drupal good for building an online store?
How do I install drupal on cpanel? I don't want to use the automatic installation on cpanel, since I heard it is less customizable.
Thanks
Drupal has excellent modules for building an online store.
Use cPanel to setup FTP or SSH access, then you'll be able to upload the Drupal tar ball - detailed instructions for installing Drupal here.
Some modules for creating an online store in Drupal:
Ubercart
Commerce
They each have dependencies, that is, modules that are required in order for them to run. They are two different approaches to creating a store in Drupal, so you'd use one or the other. Make sure you read the project descriptions listed to see which fulfil your needs the best.
Drupal is indeed known as one of the most robust CMS. It is not as used as WordPress with WooCommerce installed but it is still a pretty solid choice. I personally would recommend PrestaShop
You can easily install Drupal if your hosting provider offers Softaculous in your cPanel as well
Otherwise you need to do the following:
Download Drupal from their site
Upload the archive to your cPanel account, in the Directory Root for your domain
Extract the archive from within your cPanel's File Manager
Create a MySQL User and Database, assign the User to the Database (done through MySQL Wizard)
Proceed with the installation by visiting your website
To install Drupal 8 on cPanel not using Softaculous:
Use the "MySQL Database Wizard" to create a new database
Give the database a name & create a user with all privileges
Download the .zip/.gzip file for the latest Drupal 8 package
Upload the file & unpack (Using File Manger in cPanel) to the root folder for the domain name
Change the name on the settings.php file in the sites/default folder
Run the Drupal 8 installation script from the domain root, entering the DB information
Make sure to keep the Drupal CMS & contributed modules up to date with the latest security versions in production.
