Need a file manager for use with WHM? Try ConfigServer Explorer (cse) from the makers of CSF: http://www.configserver.com/cp/cse.html

To install or upgrade cse simply do the following from the root shell via SSH:

{syntaxhighlighter brush: applescript;fontsize: 100; first-line: 1; }rm -fv cse.tgz wg et http://www.configserver.com/free/cse.tgz tar -xzf cse.tgz cd cse sh install.sh cd .. rm -Rfv cse/ cse.tgz{/syntaxhighlighter}

So you tried to upload a database and got the error "Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes". This happens offten when you move a Drupal DB from one server to another.

So how do you make your server allow bigger packets? Easy.

There is a file in /etc called my.cnf. Simply add the line 'max_allowed_packet = 12M' to the end of the file (or edit the line) so the file reads:

cPanel and WHM is the industry leader for turning standalone servers into a fully automated point-and-click hosting platform. It's a fully webbrowser based front end for your server.

Once you have installed centOS and have SSH access you can install cPanel with WHM and and that is it, your server is ready to use. 

Follow this guide to install

OR

To begin your installation, use the following commands:

Once you have cPanel/WHM installed and setup we want to ad a few modules to help it run. One of these is UploadProgress.

1. Login to WHM
2. Hit Home at the top left
3. Hit 'Modules installers'
4. Hit 'Manage' next to PHP Pecl
5. Click the Show Available PHP Pecl(s) button
6. Now search for 'UploadProgress' from the list (Ctrl+F)
7. To the right of it hit the install button

All done!

If this works, great, but if not we've got to check out a few things.
