InterWorx-CP Integrated Tools

One of InterWorx-CP‘s advantages over other panels is that the developers have not set out to “reinvent the wheel” so to speak. When they have found an open source tool (or inexpensive commercial ones) which performs a task well they have simply integrated the existing tool rather than rewrite one from scratch.

InterWorx-CP is Made With
http://www.linux.org	http://httpd.apache.org
http://mysql.com	http://php.net
http://www.smarty.net	http://www.rrdtool.org

Built upon the many open source tools within the Linux operating system, InterWorx-CP runs its own instance of apache, MySQL, and PHP to run the panel so that you can upgrade/modify the main system ones and not break the control panel. Our themes are written with Smarty and our graphs generated using RRD.

Main Services Software
http://httpd.apache.org	http://mysql.com
http://www.qmail.org http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail	http://www.proftpd.org
http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html

InterWorx-CP chose the industry standard Apache 2 web server, DJBDNS Tiny DNS server, Qmail with Vpopmail mail servers, MySQL database server, and ProFTP FTP server to run its web services for their compatibility, security, and customizability.

Ancillary Open Source Tools

Viruses and SPAM
http://www.clamav.net	http://spamassassin.apache.org

Viruses and SPAM are both nuisances and threats in today’s Internet, more so than ever before. InterWorx-CP has integrated ClamAV’s Simscan to scan email for viruses and SpamAssassin to help manage SPAM.

Webmail
http://www.horde.org	http://www.squirrelmail.org

The popularity of Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, Gmail, and other assorted web based email services has prompted many web hosting providers to provide web interfaces for their users to access the email accounts which come with their hosting accounts.

Horde is the default and recommended webmail solution, but due to user requests InterWorx-CP also has available the popular Squirrelmail as an alternative.

Database Management
http://www.phpmyadmin.net

Database Management is an important aspect of today’s web hosting, particularly due to the prevalence of database driven web site content. phpMyAdmin is the recognized standard here, so it has been fully integrated into both SiteWorx and NodeWorx.

Site Statistics
http://www.mrunix.net/webalizer/	http://awstats.sourceforge.net
http://www.analog.cx	http://www.rrdtool.org

Everyone has different opinions and needs when it comes to web site statistics, so InterWorx has integrated three popular statistics packages into SiteWorx: Webalizer, AWStats, and Analog Stats. Additionally Real time stats are provided through the use of RRD graphs in both SiteWorx and NodeWorx.

Security Solutions from Rf-X Networks
http://rfxnetworks.com/
System Integrity Monitor (SIM) and Advanced Packet Firewall (APF)
APF is built upon iptables: http://www.linuxguruz.com/iptables/

Internet security is a major issue in web hosting and InterWorx recognizes Rf-X Networks as a leader in the field. Advanced Packet Firewall and System Integrity Monitor have been integrated into InterWorx, and other Rf-X Networks tools are also being considered.

Licensed Commercial Tools
