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?
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 SEPARATE 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.
