For fast, easy server setup nothing beats Virtualmin control panel
Try Virtualmin!The following is a template for an example email that might be sent out after creating a new main domain.
The following virtual server has been set up successfully :
DOMAIN INFORMATION
Domain name: ${DOM}
Hosting server: ${HOSTNAME}
${IF-VIRT}
Virtual IP address: ${IP
${ENDIF-VIRT}
Administration login: ${USER}
Administration password: ${PASS}
ADMINISTRATIVE ACCESS
${IF-WEBMIN}
Administration URL: https://www.${DOM}:10000/
${ENDIF-WEBMIN}
FTP ACCESS
${IF-FTP}
FTP login: Enabled
Home directory: ${HOME} (your name/password to log in)
${ELSE-FTP}
FTP login: Not available for this account
${ENDIF-FTP}
WWW ACCESS
${IF-WEB}
Website: http://www.${DOM}/
${ELSE-WEB}
Website: Not available for this account
WEBALIZER REPORTING
${IF-WEBALIZER}
Webalizer log reporting: Enabled
${ELSE-WEBALIZER}
Webalizer log reporting: Disabled
${ENDIF-WEBALIZER}
${ENDIF-WEB}
MAIL
${IF-MAIL}
Email domain: ${DOM}
SMTP server: mail.${DOM}
POP3 server: mail.${DOM}
${ENDIF-MAIL}
DNS
${IF-DNS}
These are the values that should be used at your registrar for this domain.
===========================================================================
DNS domain: ${DOM}
Nameserver1 (primary):
Nameserver2: ns2.yourotherserver.com
${ENDIF-DNS}
${IF-MYSQL}
MySQL database: ${DB}
MySQL login: ${MYSQL_USER}
MySQL password: ${PASS}
${ENDIF-MYSQL}
${IF-POSTGRES}
PostgreSQL database: ${DB}
PostgreSQL login: ${USER}
PostgreSQL password: ${PASS}
${ENDIF-POSTGRES}
${IF-VIRTUALMIN-DAV}
You are also able to connect to the server with a DAV connection.
DAV connections will allow you to generate a "My Network Place"
on your "My Computer", the same as drive mappings.
From XP (for example), create a new network connection to
http:\\www.${DOM}\dav
This will connect you to the root of the web site (which is
technically located under the home\public_html directory,
but you can't tell that).
For a user name, you should use ${USER}@${DOM}
If that doesn't work, then try just ${USER}
The password will be the same as the email password: ${PASS}
(Notice that for XP, the slashes go the other way)
${ENDIF-VIRTUALMIN-DAV}
${IF-VIRTUALMIN-AWSTATS}
AWstats log reporting: Enabled
Website stats: http://${DOM}/stats/
Stats user: ${USER}
Stats password: ${PASS}
${ELSE-VIRTUALMIN-AWSTATS}
AWstats log reporting: Disabled
${ENDIF-VIRTUALMIN-AWSTATS}
${ENDIF-WEB}
In addition to Virtualmin (at the :10000 address above), you and any other users that you add can also use Usermin to access your account, change password, etc. Please don't change settings that you don't understand without contacting me (mailto:
How to put admin email and admin name automatically?).
To get to Usermin, browse to:
https://www.${DOM}:20000
log in with user ${USER}
and password ${PASS}
Whenever you add a new user, they will automatically get an email with their details, and information on using Usermin also.
The administration (default) mailbox for this server is ${USER}@${DOM}
You can contact me with issues about the server at mailto:**Show how to put in a second email address. You can also just write a constant address here.
