Blockland Internet cPanel

What is it?
Blockland Internet cPanel, or BIcP, is a open sourced PHP based web application that allows you to manage server settings. You can upload, delete, and enable add-ons and Music, and start or close your server from your Internet Browser!

Note, BIcP runs off of your device. You install the scripts onto your computer/server, and access them through a web-browser.

Requirements
  • Internet Access
  • Windows Device (XP/Vista/7/Server)
  • Webserver (Preferably Apache)
  • PHP Installation (exec() function must be enabled)

Progress
  • Interface - 80%
  • Add-on Management - 95%
  • Music Management - 0%
  • Secure Database Logins - 0% (Currently using direct access to MySQL Database, don't want to give the password to everyone. Will access through my website)

Note: Approximate Percents

Second post.

On-Topic: This is actually really cool.

:c
I have a mac. But looks great.

This will never be finished.

You really think people are going to install Apache and PHP on their home computer just to use this? You're out of your mind. People can barely drag a zip file to the Add-Ons folder.

Some people have brains.
Plus, out of about 25k people, some must have web-servers already. Its not necessarily for home computers though, maybe someone's server, or whatever.

It may be available for mac, I haven't looked into it yet.

Most people that have a server with BL and HTTP on it rather do it without the help of this control panel.

It's like reinventing the wheel except this time painting it different. There's recently been a rise in third party programs that are supposed to "make blockland better and easier" like easy script systems and colorset makers, but none of them seem to get finished, and none of them seem to help at all. The only thing they do is allow the owner to say "I made this".

Some people like me use Window's 'Remote Desktop Connection' to manage their servers. In a lot of cases, there is a problem with registering the graphics driver, disallowing you to run Blockland to access the Add-On and music menus. So, you must do it in a text editor, which is time consuming and boring.

This makes it just like opening Blockland and enabling/disabling them.

I made this to making managing a server easier remotely, not bragging rights. Plus, this doesn't 'enhance' anything, just enables you to do several things remotely.

Nice. But this probably wont be finished :/

It's not a bad idea, but should be reduced to just an add-on, which is possible as I have a script which let's you host a website from your blockland server. (originally made by truce)

Only problem with that is starting and closing the server.

It's not a problem, you just lack experience to know how.

Starting the server while it's off without using an external script/program?
Nope.
