#168 Cpanel Password plugin

[kartusa]

After installing the cpanel password change plugin,
my whole squirrelmail system is not working. Its not
even letting me check my webmails on cpanel. In order
to debug the problem I disabled the plugin from
config.php in config folder. even then its not
letting me in. At login screen I enter the correct
username and password it gives error need to login to
access. Please help me out and also please let me
know which password plugin I have to use to change
the password. My webhosting services use Cpanel
online to create email username and password. Please
help me out by emailing the solution to
cnplkart@yahoo.com. thanks!!!

I am using a 3rd party website hosting that uses cpanel.
how do I get the plugin. moreover I am using the plugin
you have provided in plugins site. I am enclosing a screen
shot. After entering the new password its not changing. I
get a message" A problem occured and your email password
was not changed" Please help me to resolve this problem.
Enclosing my Cpanel password plugin config file

<?php
//What are your CPanel "login" values?
//They are needed for authentication when calling CPanel
files directly.
//Don't worry, nothing will be displayed to the user!

$cpanel_un = "XXXXXX"; // Your Cpanel username.
$cpanel_pw = "XXXXXX"; // Your CPanel password.

//Where is the CPanel pop password change file located?
//This will be different for every CPanel theme. You can
find the file
//location by going into the CPanel POP Email Accounts
area and then
//right-clicking on the "Change Password" link. Choose
the
//"Copy shortcut" option and then cut/paste it here.
//NOTE: Do NOT include the domain/port info or anything
after the filename.

$cpanel_file_location = "/frontend/x/mail/passwdpop.html";
//$cpanel_file_location
= "/frontend/x/mail/poppasswordchanged.html";

//This is the text string that will be used to determine
if the password
//change was successful or not. Since this string may be
different for
//every theme, you should perform a password change using
CPanel and then
//find some text that is *displayed* (visable) ONLY when
the change was
//successful. In other words, if this string is found in
the CPanel results
//then the//pw change is considered successful. If this
string is NOT found
//then the pw change is considered NOT successful.

//$cpanel_success_string = "was successfully modified";
$cpanel_success_string = "was successfully changed";

//If you want see the raw output of the CPanel command,
set this to true.
//The default is true. (You should set this to false
before allowing
//general users to use this plugin.)

$show_cpanel_output = true;

//Should the user be automatically logged out from SM
after password change?
//If set to true, then the $show_cpanel_response setting
is ignored.
//The default is false.

$disconnect = false;

//Do you want to change the password of a "web protected"
(htaccess) file, too?
//This is useful if the SAME username/password combination
is beingused to
//protect a folder. It will keep things in synch for you.
//NOTE: The folder must already be protected using the
CPanel "web protect"
//tool using the same username used for the email account.
//The default is false.

$do_htaccess_change = false;

//If you have set $do_htaccess_change to true, then you
MUST also set the
//following values:

$protect_file_path
= "/home/candev/public_html/contractors"; // Full
path to protected folder
$cpanel_protect_file_location
= "/frontend/iconic/htaccess/newuser.html"; //
Location of CPanel file.
$cpanel_protect_success_string = "now has the password";
//Text to look for to determine success.

Please use plugin provided by cpanel. SquirrelMail
cpanel_pw_changer plugin is a hack coded for some old cpanel
version. It depends on cpanel interface layout. It is
possible that current cpanel layout is different.

Cpanel is proprietary program and they don't provide
information about their PHP library. Information about PHP
accounting module shows limited functionality.
