  1. Fix Database Manager GUI ( Enable table filtering and search fields )

    When you click on a database table, you're taken to the Select data tab, which is great. However, the header section is only displaying two fields, neither of which are labeled. All the actual labels and additional fields are missing. This means it's impossible to sort the data, filter, or search for advanced content.

    Here are two screenshots, one of what IS visible:

    and another of what SHOULD BE visible.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/qaycu7qc3h5ux00/What%20SHOULD%20BE%20Visible.png
    Hope that helps explain what I'm talking about.

    Clearly, all the form fields are already there, but they're hidden. Looking at the CSS, it looks like there are…

  2. Server Log

    While I was talking to support he mentioned cloudways only save log of 7 days. While doing log server analysis for SEO we need 30 days at least. Can you guys extend it?

  3. Configure email generated from the server to allow it to go through

    The cpanel currently accepts configuration values for SMTP that get carried through to postfix (or whatever), but do not allow us to set a custom From: header. As a result, nearly every SMTP relay will reject the message.

    Workarounds include generating email from PHP (usually via PHPMailer) or on the command line using mail -r "[email protected]". However by default, without any workaround, email generated by the system (such as using the MAILTO= in a crontab) will simply fail.

    I've not encountered a server stack before that takes in SMTP configuration for the server but fails to take in…

  4. Offer the option to create a new site as a "Staging" site

    Currently, new sites cannot be created with the development user/pass UI for adding a username and password to access the site. When you are developing a new site it is important to keep it from being crawled by search engines, so it needs to be behind password protection. right now the only way to accomplish this is to either edit the htaccess file or else install a maintenance plugin.

    Specifically, I wanted to create a Staging site from a site that is currently hosted on a server that has an older database. My development server has the latest versions of…

  5. Increase SFTP idle time or give user option to increase it

    If you check here - https://github.com/liximomo/vscode-sftp/issues/541

    many of us are facing issues with SFTP getting disconnected and not automatically connected again. This is very frustrating in development. Creating a ticket every time and asking to increase this is not convenient.

  6. Code a button in account detail's page that will terminate your servers so you can cancel your account.

    It will be better if you could have a button that when pressed it will terminate/kill running servers or at least it will ask you "Do you want to terminate your servers and then cancel your account?"

  7. Expose how long different parts of staging site creation take to let us optimize it

    We're experiencing very long wait times for staging site creation and would love to know how to speed it up. Some other ideas here, like selective updating of the staging site, could also help, but I thought this idea would also be good for us.

    The idea is to log when each part of the process starts — either in something that Cloudways employees can see or that the users can see. Perhaps they could even be added to the Deployment Logs.

    Often with processes that take a long time, an app will show progress or at least tell you…

  9. Add "stdout" output to Supervisor job logs

    Laravel jobs tend to offload queues using "Supervisor" jobs. Laravel's docs show how to pipe "stdout" output to a file for reading. Cloudways Supervisor logs will only write errors, so there's no way to access the Laravel queue processing logs.

    Normally, this is set in the Supervisor job ".conf" file with setting "stdout_logfile=".

    This should be an option so Laravel users can access the Laravel queue logs, or the current Cloudways Supervisor logs should have "stdout" in addition to errors.

  10. create a managed upgrade/downgrade solution for MySQL updates via server backup.

    ie backup entire server before upgrading MySQL, so that restore of entire server is possible (inc older MySQL version) if something goes wrong with the upgrade. I understand this would be chargeable but it would save the stress levels for many a web dev

  12. Multiple webroots per single application

    More advanced PHP applications can have multiple webroots accessed via different subdomains. For example, one is the public website for customers (www.mydomain.com) and another for the staff (accounts.mydomain.com).

    For example, Cloudways is advertising support for Yii Framework (https://www.cloudways.com/en/yii-hosting.php). This framework implements the mentioned architecture in the following way:

    https://www.yiiframework.com/extension/yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced/doc/guide/2.0/en/structure-directories

    There are "frontend" and "backend" modules in the application directory and each of them has a separate webroot. The configuration could look like this:

    www.mydomain.com -> /path/to/yii-application/frontend/web/
    accounts.mydomain.com -> /path/to/yii-application/backend/web/

    This could be even configured on a basic cPanel hosting. I have already asked on the support…

  15. 720 Permissions on app creation Issues

    There was an infrastructure update that defaults files/directories to 720 permissions. Now FTP users no longer see any of the files or directories because of these permissions. Chat support's "solution" is to use the "reset permissions" function, which will then change the permissions of files and directories to 770.

    First, why were the default permissions changed from 664/755, to 720? I've never seen this configuration before, so it seems odd to me.

    Second, why is this a two step process for FTP users to gain access to the public_html directory? The default application permissions should MATCH the "reset permissions" permissions.

  20. DesktopServer version 3.5.2 has a new direct deployment feature to get your WordPress websites from your desktop to your hosting provider in

    DesktopServer version 3.5.2 has a new direct deployment feature to get your WordPress websites from your desktop to your hosting provider in just a few clicks.

    To do this Cloudways must support File System Direct.

    File System Direct is a (PHP) feature that allows WordPress to write files to the local file system on the server. At the moment it does not so we can't use this feature in DesktopServer.
