RVSkin installation in cpanel server

SSH as root to server that was registered while purchasing the license and run:
mkdir /root/rvadmin
cd /root/rvadmin
wget http://download.rvglobalsoft.com/download.php/download/rvskin-auto/saveto/rvauto.tar.bz2
bunzip2 -d rvauto.tar.bz2
 tar -xvf rvauto.tar
 perl /root/rvadmin/auto_rvskin.pl

Answer a couple of questions on your shell, and wait until it finishes. First installation will take 2- 5 minutes to install. Installer will create a new hosting account 'rvadmin'. Don't terminate it. It will be used for internal RVSkin configuration management.

Log in to RVSkin Manager. Both root and reseller are able to access RVSkin Manager in WHM / Plugins (at the bottom left menu). If you cannot find the RVSkin Manager menu, please close WHM and open it again
If there is no messages display on the skin, please run this command on your SSH.

rm -f /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/rvversion
perl /root/rvadmin/auto_rvskin.pl

In RVSkin Manager:

  • Set global configuration
  • Set default language
  • Create default feature list for user and for reseller
  • Set tweak setting, reseller feature control, body links, top links, help, tutorial links, and etc.
  • Test configuration setting in 2 hosting accounts.
    • rvadmin: this account can consider to be account belong to root
    • reseller's client: this account will reflect setting from reseller skin manager. If it is not configured, it will remain anonymous.
