Re: Web Admin Interface for ISP (WaveLAN)

Hello *,

Last month I have a found a new german  Partner  to  install  a  WaveLAN
service in Baden-Würtemberg (Germany) with an initial surface of 330km².
We are useing the BreezeVL with 5,8 GHz and the  6 MBit VL-TNS  for  our
customers.

Administration of arround 1000 users in this region is  no  problem  but
since last monday I have a problem...

I have much more customers as expected and the surface we can reach  can
increase up to 2800km².

Not checking several ISP solutions I have not found a singel  one  which
fit my needs, because we use:

*  postgresql
*  bind9
*  apache2
*  courier-imap
*  php5

and the WHOLE administration should be done over  a  Web-Admin-interface
in which we need:

for us intern:

1)  Enter new customers (generaly for our "sales stuff")
2)  Admin the BreezeVL Basestation
3)  Do network checks and analysis

and for our customers a webpage where they can do all  things  BIG  ISPs
offer:

A)  Webmail (sqirelmail is crap and ugly)
B)  Setup mailfilters
C)  Setup to suck mail form other ISPs
D)  Maintain the Homepage
E)  Have a private diskspace area (maybe we offer webdav too)
F)  NO PUBLICITY  :-D
G)  what ever...

So, on 1) am working already and it sems to working.
For 2) I can maybe go with SMNP but I have no clue HOW to do this stuff.
3) is a crazy thing because I need horly statstics about connections and
Rx/Tx traffic whith graphics of course.
A) is a killer too
B) is realized with procmail but users can upload there own "procmailrc"
C) is using fetchmail
D) No real clue currently how to do this
E) I have a simple filemanager coded which work well
F) I do not want to show any Bulicity crap on the Admin interface.

So since it seems I have to code the whole stuff my own, I am  asking  a
last time  here,  whether  someone  know,  similar  things  exist  (even
partialy).

If such interface does not exist, I will crate a OSS Projectpage  and  I
invite you to join th party for coding an OSS solution in team...

have been looking myself for some sort of hosting panel a while ago, the one that i found most appealing (meaning not totally suck) was gnupanel but to be honest i'm not sure in how far it is still actively being developed, i signed up for the mailing list a while ago and no response yet, and it does not cover your complete wishlist so it would require quit some work still to make it fit your needs, but then again.....if you would start building your own anyway it could be a nice starting point.

D) it offers the client to "click install" some CMS for there website like joomla wordpress etc... if you would add poweradmin i think you could also let them manage there own DNS and stuff.
