Hello

I have created the form at

http://regidordigital.com/email_crea...il_create.html

But there must be something I am not doing properly...

............
Where it says I have put down muy cpanel username
and where it says password, the password...

where it says domain.com I have written regidordigital.com

I have protected the directory. I send you details to our private forum....

What could be wrong??

Thx
Alberto

Is there some error message on screen or in the error_log ?

I everyone. I know how old this thread is so I am not entirely expecting a reply.

I am very new to Cpanel scripts and was able to set this up with no problems at all. I am using this to allow a client to create email address for themselves and their employees without having to take the extra step of requesting it through me. (I don't want to grant them direct Cpanel access)


I have found the Cpanel API2 script for changing passwords

$xmlapi = new xmlapi("Primary CPANEL domain"); 
$xmlapi->password_auth("username",$root_pass); 
$account = "Cpanel username"; 
$xmlapi->api2_query($account, "Email", "passwdpop", array( 'domain' => "domain name", 'email' => "user name", 'password' => "new password") ); 

and I am wondering if there would be anyway to incorporate this into the files posted in this thread. I would love to give my clients the option to change the email password if they needed to. But as I said before I am literally just learning about Cpanel APIs (12 hours now and counting!) so I'm not really sure how one would go about implementing this.

Anyone gracious enough to help out a very very green rookie?


Thanks in advance.

Well, maybe I missed something, but they can change passwords for their email accounts in Webmail. There is an option for it on the very first page when accessing Webmail. Thus, API is not needed.

Wow... I've been using the webmail auto load for so long that I completely forgot about that link. Now, please excuse me while I shamefully make my exit....

Hello daarkm,

I'm sorry but I'm not sure I follow. You want to change an email address password for a script or by a script? You can see more about cPanel's API here.

Please clarify your question and we'll see how we can assist further.
