Overview of Power Tools

Power Tools are a collection of various Web applications that you can provision for sites to make your hosting plans more attractive. Since Power Tools are  automatically installed and configured by Parallels Pro, you do not have to worry about support and integration issues.

The Power Tools currently available are Gallery (http://gallery.menalto.com/) (a tool to create and maintain photo albums), PHPBB (http://www.phpbb.com/) (a discussion board), WordPress (http://wordpress.org/) (a news and Web log tool), DotNetNuke (http://www.dotnetnuke.com/) (a content management system), and Community Server (http://communityserver.org/) (a knowledge management and collaboration platform).

Note: Parallels Pro now supports DotNetNuke version 4.4.1 and Community Server version 2.1. If your site has been provisioned with the older versions DotNetNuke 3.2.0 or Community Server 1.1, you cannot provision new instances of the older versions of these Power tools. However, the existing instances of of these Power tools continue to work until you uninstall them.
To install new instances of DotNetNuke 4.4.1 or Community Server 2.1 your service provider needs to unprovision the older versions DotNetNuke 3.2.0 and Community Server 1.1, and configure your site to ASP.Net 2.0.
