Articles :: Determining the cPanel Theme / Skin


Webmasters are often looking for cPanel tools like cPanel Database Creator, or cPanel Subdomains Creator, to simplify or automate some things on cPanel webhostings.

Usually these tools require cPanel theme name, and will not work correctly if wrong cPanel theme is specified. Usually cPanel skin name would be "x", but yours may be different.

Try following steps if you do not know what your current cPanel theme is.
  • Login to your cPanel account
  • Look at the URL in your browser. It would look somewhat similar to http://www.hosting.com:2082/frontend/x/index.html
  • cPanel theme name is everything after the "/frontend/", and before the next slash "/". In above example cPanel theme is "x". It could be "x2", "rvblue", etc.

Some scripts and tools will not even ask you for a cPanel theme / skin. They use some hard coded theme name, which may differ from the one you have installed on your hosting server, and script will not work. In that case you may edit script's code. Its simple. Just find "/frontend/" string in the script and replace theme value with the correct one.

Works, but the skin is all messed up, so what I want to know is does anyone know how to instead of display the information, have the information either stored into a database or emailed to a specified email adddress, and for the script when done to just return back to the start page again.

Hi,

I have several HostMonster accounts.
Does anyone have a version that currently works? (Nov. 27, 2012)
I'll be glad to pay $100 via PayPal to someone who has this, if:

1) It works

2) It lets me create subdomain names with dashes, like: make-money-online

3) It creates the subdomain and the folder with matching name (even if the folder does not already exist)

4) I can enter up to 10 (or more, but 10 for sure) subdomains at once, which would be for me a real time saver. :)

5) It finishes the job within just a few minutes... not sure how long one ordinarily has to wait.

6) I'll want the copy to test before I pay... not looking to make 20 $100 payouts without a working copy, lol!

7) I will definitely pay; whoever delivers can post here to verify I did.

We created one... if you want a stable CPanel Subdomain Creator, see this video:
http://youtu.be/UDjYQnk0IHE

It's extremely easy to use... just enter: 'domain.com', 'username' and 'password'... and the list of subdomains to be created (from 1 to 1000 at a time).

Guys ! I solved the Access denied error. 1. I had to change http to https
2. I had to change doaddpop.html to pops.html as per the url when I send into Cpanel
3. My Skin was 'rvblue'

BUT Now it says Account Created ! But nothing actually happens !!!

My Secure cPanel session from webhostingpad uses a new skin name everytime.

cpsess1234567890/frontend

is there a way to update the script to catch the changing cpsess?

This should help fixing it:
$f = file_get_contents("http://$cpuser:$cppass@$cpdomain:2082/frontend/$cpskin/mail/doaddfwd.html?email=$euser&domain=$edomain&fwdemail=$eforward&fwdopt=fwd")

skin for bluehost is
define('CPANEL_SKIN','bluehost');
