Control Panel
Questions
1)How do I login to my control panel?
The fun
part is that it's not a mile long URL address. All you need is your URL
(ex: www.yourdomain.com) followed by (:2082/)
So point
your browser to http://www.yourdomain.com:2082/
Just
replace yourdomain.com with your URL to your website! It's that simple!
IF YOU HAVE JUST SETUP YOUR ACCOUNT, then simply enter
the following until you get your domain up and running:
http://1111.1111.1111:2082/
Of course,
replace 1111.1111.111 with the IP of your server provided
to you in your activation email. :) And as always, if you have ANY
problems with this, please contact us.
2) I made a ftp account with a new user/pass but what
is the url to his/her folder?
Simply
http://www.yourdomain.com/~username/
Replace
USERNAME with the name of the FTP user you have created. :-)
if you have
ANY problems with this, please contact us.
3) How do I access mySQL?
Within your
control panel, under the DATABASES section, there are 2 programs.
PhpMyAdmin and Manage MySQL. You may enter Manage MySQL to easily create
users & databases or for the novice, you may go into PhpMyAdmin to create,
manage, edit and administer your databases.
4) How do I password protect specific directories?
This is
easier to set up than you think! :-) check this page first see if it helps
you click here if not continue
reading...Within your control panel, under the SITE MANAGEMENT section,
there is a link that says "Web Protect." Click on this link.
You'll soon
see the folder structure of your current web site (you will only see
folders, no files). This will be displayed with several folder icons
(pictures of a folder) along with the name of the folder (displayed to the
right of the folder icon). THESE ARE TWO
SEPERATE LINKS (icon and name).
First you
will need to navigate to the folder you wish to password protect. If your
folder is located within a folder, simply click on the folder ICON to help
you navigate in and out of folders.
Once you
have decided on a folder, then click on the TITLE of the folder (NOT the
folder icon) and a properties menu will appear on a new page.
Configure
the properties in this menu by checking the checkbox (to activate or
uncheck to de-activate). CAUTION: THIS WILL
LOCK ALL FILES AND FOLDERS WITHIN THIS
DIRECTORY. You would then choose a name for this locked
page (this will appear as the title of the password prompt your users will
see; ex: "This page is for staff only!"). Once complete, click on SAVE and
the lock will be activated.
Finally,
you will need to establish which users you wish to have access to this
directory, and then you're all set! No sweat! And as always, if you have
any problems with this, if you have ANY problems with this, please contact
us.
