Clientexec 2.6 released

[charles]

See our KB Article (https://www.powervps.com/support/index.php?x=&mod_id=2&id=81) for the download link.

I am a bit unclear as to the difference between the Clientexec_2.6 and Clientexec_2.6_incremental.

[charles]

I can only assume it's a patch that can be applied to 2.5 or something. Please ask on their forums - i have never seen a company make it so hard to use their software.

2.6.1 is out with many bugfixes, please update the download section. Thanks.

[Robert]

The download section has been updated with links to 2.6.1.

Please note... there is not a "no ioncube" release available for this version at this time. I don't know if it will be made available later or not, but at this time it's not included from CE's site.

Anyone know what the changes were? Mine ain't broke.............

[airoid]

2.6.1

* Plugins:
- PLESK: Version 2.6.0 only allowed access with Plesk admin accounts. Now normal user accounts are supported, that have 'Domain Creation' and 'Ability to use remote XML interface' permissions. Reseller packages create in Plesk a user account with 'Domain Creation' permission. Normal packages create a single domain account.

* Signup:
- Added ability under "admin->tld extensions" to select whether a tld should be offered in signup.

* Bugs fixed:
- Enom plugin wasn't working when using the curl binary instead of the PHP extension.
- The user status filter in the files module wasn't working well when used together with other filters on the same file.
- Menu and right bar were disappearing under report->export data.
- When a user replied to a ticket by e-mail, the following notification message had untranslated constants.
- Some words were missing in the message shown in signup when a lookup was made for an already registered domain.
- Wasn't including PDF invoice from invoices generated by gateway callbacks.
- Package selection problems when reloading after changing the TLD.
- In signup, when changing the country or state, the tax wasn't being updated.
- In signup for credit card payments, it was always showing the discovery card even if it was disabled in admin->plugins->3rd party billing.
- In signup, when validating an invalid form, it was showing "Invalid Email address multiple times".
- In signup, the domain name registration options wheren't behaving coherently under some use cases.
- When manually adding a domain-based package to a client sometimes the tlds in the dropdown were shown multiple times.
- Wasn't allowing SQL in the post-it note.
- When existing user enter credit card in signup and then check the "exisiting member" checkbox anyway, cc would need to be revalidated.
- Fixed more path-related-special-cases issues with IIS.
- Fixed Worldpay and Psigate plugins.
- In signup, wasn't showing list of supported tlds when the user attempted a check for an unsupported one.

too many update, too often... Have to get back on translation everytime... :(

[airoid]

They just release a 2.6.2 with very few changes:

2.6.2

* Reports:
- Enhanced the annual income report to support monthly as well as yearly so that those that exceed their server timeout can view per month

* Bugs fixed:
- Plesk package configuration checkboxes weren't working with Safari.
- E-mails sent by the Forgot Password feature were being rejected by some mail servers.

The download and KB article have been updated for the new version.

So fast, I missed the 2.6.1 incremental update.
With such quick releases they really should have a 2.6 to 2.6.2 upgrade. :)
At this point, I'm wondering if this software is more of a hassle than it's worth?

There was a major problem with the password reset feature which effected ClientExec clients as well. I believe this is why the release was so fast. I generally only install releases after a couple of stable releases are released.

Well... i can't work without it... It's cheap... but more cheap than CE mean free and for free, you have phpcoin ( and you really don't want to use phpcoin ... )

When your business will be big enough, it will worth to switch to modern bill... :)
I'll do as soon as possible...

[ndndixie]

Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeee that one went fairly easy. Well, almost easy but it didn't take over 3 hours...................

I agree. Especially after seeing the new version 5 beta. I never liked the version 4 look and feel, but the new one looks great with excellent features.

Unless the WhoisCart replacement (Silverstar) is ready soon, I'll be switching once MB v5 stable is out.

I'm not all that keen on the MB price, I think Silverstar could be good competition and at a lower price. Still, the verdict on that won't be settled until beta time for me. For the money, I'm willing to wait a bit longer.

My clientexec is now having some major problems. I'm in contact with mike from clientexec... i gave him my login info and stuff but he doesn't seems to be able to find the trouble...

see:
EDIT: Image deactivated

it's very strange. I activated the logging level 5... but the sql query doesn't appear in the log file... it's very strange. I updated ioncube as requested by mike... but didn't solve anything...

I also noticed that the problem is also in my 2.6.0 testing env. i have on the server...

I really think about moving to modernbill... I think i could get a "250 licence" instead of a monthly 24.95$ ... they should have something like "100 license" ...

After 7 months of 24.95$/month, you have paid for the amount of a "250 license"...

Do you know if they have other language for modernbill ? French for example is needed for signup script and customer's interface...

[Fred]

For everybody that looks for an alternative for clientexec ... and was looking for modernbill and didn't want to switch because it cost a lot.
See the website: http://www.mblicenses.com/

YOu can get a 50 customers licences for 12.95$ a month... this seems very interresting...

[Fred]

No news from mike at clientexec since two days... Even after my two mails asking for update and informations...

I'm disapointed ... I have two new customers waiting right now... They are friends so they accepted to wait a week. But i can't do business that way.

Next week, i'll be a new modernbill customer! I hope i'll be a proud new modernbill customer.

You try ce-talk.com usually a bit faster and its user to user support.

[Fred]

yeah, that's how i met mike... He did give to me his mail address... we were in communication by mail ...

Yesterday, i finally received a mail from him. It's a bug in mysql 4.0 from what i understand and not a clientexec bug... Memory bug...
"Got error 12 from tables handler"

I restarted mysql service and it solved the problem... i'll see if the problem comes back ... but i wasn't hitting my memory limit... that's strange, but i don't have time to look closer and i find the real cause :)

I had to pay someone to install Clientexec 2.6.2, I can't really say it was worth it, the version before worked perfectly fine... the only difference must be the few security patches, and an announcements system... doesn't seem worth the upgrade in my opinion.

I would suggest if you are upgrading, BACKUP YOUR WHOLE CPANEL ACCOUNT, before upgrading, because I backed up the database and the files... and when trying to reinstall the older version because I couldn't seem to install the 2.6.2 version correctly NOTHING WORKED... it would be so much easier for you to just restore a cPanel account.

I wish they would just introduce a page which told you if there was any upgrades and you could just click on upgrade, and it would do it without any issues, or having to FTP files, etc.

Goodluck for all of those who haven't upgraded yet ;)
