Redirecting a web page with meta refresh

No Comments

This help page explains how to redirect a single web page to a new web address, using the meta refresh method.

See Cruzio’s redirect overview to decide which redirect method you should use.

Please proceed with caution. If you make mistakes, your website may become unreachable.

What is a meta refresh redirect, and why should I use it?

With the meta refresh redirect method, you put some specific HTML code in your old web page.

When someone visits the old page, the redirect will automatically take them to the new address.

Benefits and drawbacks of a meta refresh redirect:

  • Does not require access to your website’s root directory
  • Requires that you access and edit each page that you want to redirect
  • Does not preserve search engine rankings or inbound links for the redirected page
  • Because spammers use this technique, search engines may penalize the page’s rank

A meta refresh redirect is not as good as a .htaccess redirect, which is more powerful and preserves search engine page rankings. However, sometimes only a meta refresh redirect is possible. For example, if you are moving from a free GeoCities site to Cruzio hosting, Yahoo! does not allow you to use a .htaccess redirect. A meta refresh redirect, done properly, is the right method in this case.

Redirecting a page with meta refresh

  1. Log in to your Web space, using either an FTP Program (such as Filezilla or CyberDuck) or your website’s File Manager. (Note: if you have Cruzio Classic hosting, the File Manager is not available, and you must use FTP instead.)

    In your Web space, find the page you want to redirect.

  2. Open the page’s file for editing.

    Remove all existing code from the page. To replace it, paste in the following code:

    <html>
<head>
<title>Moved to new address: http://yourdomain/pathto/newpage.extension</title>
<meta http-equiv=refresh content="0; url=http://yourdomain/pathto/newpage.extension" />
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>This page has been moved to http://yourdomain/pathto/newpage.extension</h1>
<p>If your browser doesn't redirect you to the new location, please <a href="http://yourdomain/pathto/newpage.extension"><b>click here</b></a>. Sorry for the inconvenience!</p>
</body>
</html>

     

    Note: it’s important that you do not add any keywords or advertising to this page, and that you do not delay the refresh by changing the number 0. If you do these things, you risk having your page be regarded as Web spam, and being penalized by search engines.

  3. In the new code, make these changes:
    For this: Substitute this:
    yourdomain the page’s domain at the new address
    (for example, “joeswebsite.com”)
    pathto the path to the directory containing the page
    (for example, “topics/news”)
    oldpage the filename of the page you are redirecting
    (include only a slash “/” in front of oldpage, creating a “relative address”)
    extension the page’s extension, if it has one
    (for example, “html” or “php”)
    newpage the filename of the new page
    (include the initial “http://” in front of newpage, creating an “absolute address”)

     

    Save the changes to your page.

    Your redirect is active! Test it by opening the old page in your browser, and making sure the browser takes you to the new location.

Redirecting a website or web page: Overview

No Comments

This help page is an overview of different methods for redirecting a website or web page, and the situations where each method is preferred.

Please proceed with caution. If you make mistakes, your website may become unreachable.

Redirect Methods

  • .htaccess

    A .htaccess (pronounced dot-aitch-tee-access) redirect is powerful, flexible, and preserves your search engine page ranking. In most cases, you should use this method.

  • Forwarding or an A Record

    Forwarding is a very good and easy redirect method if you just bought an extra domain name, and want to point it to an existing website.

    Redirecting with an A record has limitations, but can be used in some cases. In cases where an A record will not work, you can use the .htaccess method instead.

    Both of these methods can redirect entire websites, but not individual pages.

  • Meta Refresh

    A meta refresh redirect is not as good as a .htaccess redirect. However, some web hosts may not allow you to use a .htaccess file. In that case, use a meta refresh.

    A meta refresh can only redirect a single web page at a time.

Redirecting a website using Forwarding or an A Record

No Comments

This article explains how to redirect an entire website to another website.

These instructions apply only to Cruzio Website Hosting services. If you have Cruzio’s Classic hosting, contact Cruzio to request a change to your A Record, or use a .htaccess redirect instead.

See Cruzio’s redirect overview to decide which redirect method you should use.

Please proceed with caution. If you make mistakes, your website may become unreachable.

Two methods; which should you choose?

If you have an extra domain and you simply want to point it to an existing website, then Standard or Frame Forwarding is the easiest way to do that.

Maybe you need to temporarily redirect a domain that already has a website on it, without destroying those website files. In this case, you may modify your A Record if you can. However, please note the limitations of this method in the A Record section below. You may want to use the .htaccess method instead, as it works in cases where an A Record will not.

» back to top

Redirecting with Standard or Frame Forwarding

To redirect a domain name to a website hosted on another domain:

  1. Login to your domain control panel at http://login.cruzio.com.
  2. In your Control Panel, look under Main Menu for the Domains section of your Home page. If you are on Host 6 or above, you will need to first click “Domains” under the Main Menu in the upper left hand corner. If the domain you want to redirect was previously set up for hosting, you will need to remove it. Back up any site files you want to keep, then remove that domain.

    If you do not know what Host number you are on, after you log into your control panel, look at the URL at the top of your browser. You will see it start with ‘https://host’ followed by a number. That is the Host number you are on.

  3. If you are on Host 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, click the “Add New Domain” icon in the Tools section. Type in the domain name that you want to redirect. Leave the “www” check box selected. Leave the “Create domain without template” option selected. Make sure “Proceed to hosting setup” is checked. Click “OK”.

    If you are on Host 6 or above, click the “Create Domain icon” in the Tools section. Type in the domain name that you want to redirect. Leave the “www” check box selected. Change “Use domain template settings” to “Default Domain”.

  4. For Host 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, choose either “Standard forwarding” or “Frame forwarding”, then click “OK”.

    For Host 6 or above, select “Forwarding” under Hosting Type. Then under “Forwarding Settings”, choose either “Standard forwarding” or “Frame forwarding”.

    With standard forwarding, a visitor is redirected to the site and the actual site’s URL is shown in the visitor’s browser, so the visitor always knows they were redirected to another URL.

    With frame forwarding, a visitor is redirected to the site without knowing that the site actually resides at another location.

  5. Specify the Destination URL: the website address that you would like this domain to point to. Click “OK” or “Finish”.
  6. To test the forwarding, enter the address of the forwarded domain into the address bar of your web browser. Your browser should take you to the destination URL.

Redirecting with an A Record

Using an A Record as a method to redirect a website has serious limitations. Rather than redirecting to a different website, per se, you are redirecting to an IP address. If more than one website is at that IP address, you cannot control which website the redirect will go to.

To see which website a particular IP address will go to, simply enter that IP address in your browser’s address bar.

To redirect a website to another IP address:

  1. Login to your domain control panel at http://login.cruzio.com.
  2. On your Home page, click on the domain name of the website you would like to redirect. If you are on Host 6 or above, this can be accessed by first clicking “Domains” under the Main Menu in the upper left hand corner.
  3. For Host 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, click “DNS Settings” under the Services section.

    For Host 6 or above, click “DNS Settings” under the Web Site section.

  4. There should be, among the other A records, an A record of the form: 
    Host		Record Type	Value
yourdomain.com	A		IP.address

    Where:

    • yourdomain.com is the name of your domain; and
    • IP.address is the IP address of the domain.
  5. Click the host name in this record.

    Leave the “Record type” menu set to “A”.

    Leave the box labeled “Enter domain name” blank.

    In the box labeled “Enter IP address *”, enter the IP address you are redirecting to.

    Click “OK”.

Note: Your new A record will take up to 24–48 hours to take effect. This is because a new A record is a DNS change, and all DNS servers worldwide need to be updated to reflect the change. To test whether the A Record has taken effect, enter the address of the redirected domain into the address bar of your web browser. If the record has taken effect, your browser will take you to the website at the destination IP address.

    Click the Go button at the bottom of the window. Close the phpMyAdmin window.

  12. Test your new password by logging in to your application.

Restarting Virtualmin on Your VPS

No Comments

This article is designed to help Cruzio VPS customers who are unable to reach their Virtualmin control panel at http://clientlogin.cruziohost.com:10000, where clientlogin is the login name you chose when you signed up.

These instructions assume you have Cruzio VPS service and are able to connect to your VPS service via SSH. If you are unable to reach your Virtualmin control panel and unable to connect to your VPS service via SSH, you will not be able to run the commands supplied in this article, and should reboot your VPS service via the Xen virtual shell.

Overview

By default, Cruzio installs two major web-based control panels on each VPS service: Webmin and Virtualmin. Webmin allows Cruzio VPS customers to manage their VPS service via a graphical point-and-click interface, rather than the command line. Virtualmin is a module that works with Webmin to host and manage multiple websites on a single server. For more information, please visit the official Webmin and Virtualmin documentation.

Restarting Virtualmin

Since Virtualmin is a subcomponent of Webmin, you must restart Webmin in order to restart Virtualmin.

  1. Connect to your VPS service via SSH. You will need to log in as the root user in order to run the restart command.
  2. On the command line, type the command /etc/init.d/webmin stop and press Enter. Note that you may get an error message that says the Webmin service is already stopped. This is okay.
  3. On the command line, type the command /etc/init.d/webmin start and press Enter.
  4. Once your command window returns to the command prompt, try logging into your Virtualmin control panel again at http://clientlogin.cruziohost.com:10000, replacing clientlogin with the login name you chose when you signed up. When prompted, enter your root username and password. If you are still unable to get into the Virtualmin control panel at this time, we recommend you reboot your VPS service via the Xen virtual shell.

Securing your VPS

No Comments

Here’s my quick list of best practices for securing your VPS. This list is the first of several I use in order to secure customers’ servers as well as my own, I hope you find it useful.

Turn on auto notification of security updates in Webmin or your package manager, and apply them as soon as possible. Attacks are coming out very quickly after vulnerabilities are found, so the sooner you plug the holes the better. Don’t forget to include updates for the applications you’re running in addition to the operating system itself. If you manually install any applications rather than using the package manager remember that you’ll need to manually check for updates on those applications.

Use strong passwords. Don’t use words found in the dictionary or words and dates people might be able to guess, like your spouse’s name or your birthday. Use letters, numbers, and symbols, and make it memorable so you won’t need to write it down.

Disable services and applications you don’t need. Hackers can’t attack a service that’s turned off. Why run a mail server or content management system if you only use your system for FTP?

Read your system and applications logs daily. Know what normal activity is for your system. You won’t know you’ve been broken into if you’re not looking.

Apply the CIS Benchmarks or DISA STIGs to your system. They’re detailed guidelines on how to secure your system. Be aware that they might recommend changing settings that could break your specific setup. Know your system and how the changes you make will affect it.

http://www.cisecurity.org/benchmarks.html
http://iase.disa.mil/stigs/stig/index.html

Make regular backups. If all else fails and your server is hacked you’ll need a safe copy of your data to start over. Test your backups to make sure you can restore from them, and encrypt them during transmission and storage. You don’t want someone sniffing your sensitive data as you make a backup across the Internet, or walking off with your unencrypted backup drive. If possible, store your backups in a fireproof and waterproof safe at a site other than where your server is located. This will help prevent your server and backups both being destroyed by theft, fire, or natural disaster.

Subscribe to your operating system and application vendors’ security or news lists. It will notify you of new security updates or temporary fixes to prevent a compromise until an official update is released.

Feel free to contact me for a more complete list of recommendations, or if you need help securing your VPS.

Server Side Includes (SSI) with ShopSite

No Comments

Server Side Includes (SSI) with ShopSite

What are Server Side Includes?

Server Side Includes, also know as SSI, is a server side scripting language that allows you to add dynamically generated content on your static HTML web pages.

» back to the top

What does SSI do?

Generally SSI is used to change elements of a static page into dynamic without using any other dynamic technology, such as CGI or PHP. For instance, if you want to have an up-to-date weather report, you could implement a Server Side Include in order to update the information periodically.

» back to the top

Why would you use SSI with ShopSite?

ShopSite pages are static by default. But with SSI, you can include a snippet of text or HTML in many places, while only having to update the snippet’s content in one file.

For example, if your level of ShopSite supports inventory tracking, you could use a ShopSite custom template tag that uses SSI to display the product quantity on hand.

» back to the top

How do you enable SSI for your ShopSite pages?

In order to include SSI to Shopsite, it is necessary to change the file extension on the page you want the SSI to be on. By default, Shopsite sets the file extension to .html on all pages except the ‘Shopping Cart’ (which is set to .shtml). Any page you want to use SSI on, you need to change the file extension from .html to .shtml.

» back to the top

How do you change file extensions from .html to .shtml?

  1. Log into ShopSite account.
  2. Click on ‘Pages’.
  3. Select a page that needs to be edited and click ‘Edit Page Content’.
  4. At the bottom of the page under ‘Advanced Info’, edit the file name from ‘yourfile.html’ to yourfile.shtml’. Note the letter ‘s’ inserted in front of ‘html’.
  5. Click ‘Save Changes’.

Setting up Email on a Cruzio VPS-Hosted Domain

No Comments

Once you’ve added a domain to your Cruzio VPS, you may want to use that domain for email. This article describes how to create and connect to mailboxes for your domains.

To create a mailbox

  1. Log into your Virtualmin Control Panel at clientlogin.cruziohost.com:10000, replacing clientlogin with the login you chose when you signed up.
  2. Use the dropdown menu on the top left to select the domain you wish to create a mailbox for.
  3. Click “Edit Users”.
  4. Click “Add a user to this server”.
  5. Fill in the “Email address”, “Real name” and “Password” fields.
  6. You can configure advanced options in the other settings areas on this page. The defaults should be appropriate for most users.
  7. Click “Create”.

The user is now created.

To connect to a mailbox using POP or IMAP

Configure your POP or IMAP client, such as Mac OS X Mail or Microsoft Outlook, with these settings:

Incoming and outgoing Mailserver
The domain name you added (including the .com or other TLD).
Use SSL
Yes/Enabled
Username
Your username is listed in the “Edit Users” screen under the “IMAP / POP3 / FTP login” column.  If you haven’t changed the way usernames are created, it should take this form: login.domain

The first time you connect using this newly created account, you may be asked to accept a security certificate from the server.

To connect to a mailbox using Webmail

Virtualmin has a user-level control panel called “Usermin”.

You can reach the Usermin control panel directly by visiting domain:20000.

When logging in to the Usermin interface, your username is just the login name (not login.domain).

Using Secure Image URLs in ShopSite

No Comments

For ShopSite users, every image on a secure page, such as checkout pages, should be at a Secure URL. Otherwise, shoppers’ browsers may display security warnings. This help page describes how to ensure that images on secure pages are at a Secure URL.

Uploading Images to Your Media Folder

ShopSite provides a folder labeled Media for uploading your images to. Images in this folder are assigned a Secure URL for use on your ShopSite secure pages.

  1. Log into your ShopSite admin page.
  2. Click the “Images” icon.
  3. Make sure “Media” is highlighted under the Directories column, then click the “Upload Images” button.
  4. If you want to upload more than one image, click the drop down menu for “Number of images to upload” and select the number of images you want to upload.
  5. For each image you want to upload, click the “Browse” button and locate your image. Once all your images have been selected, click the “Upload” button.

Your images will now have been uploaded to the Media folder.

Enable Secure URL

ShopSite has a setting that is specifically for using the drop down menus in its interface to select an image from the Media directory. ShopSite will then automatically know both the Secure and Non-Secure URL to that image and use them accordingly. So a secure page on ShopSite, such as a check out page, will know to use the Secure URL of the image.

  1. Log into your ShopSite admin page.
  2. Click the “Preferences” icon.
  3. Click the “Hosting Service” button.
  4. Under the SSL Security Settings section, locate “Use SSL security in Shopping Cart”. If that checkbox in not checked, click it to enable it.
  5. Locate “Secure Store URL”.

    If you are on Classic hosting, this should be set to:

    https://www#.cruzio.com/shopsite-images

    Where # will match the number you see while logged into your ShopSite admin page in the URL at the top of your browser following the ‘https://www’. For example, if at the top of your browser the URL starts with ‘https://www4’, then the URL in “Secure Store URL” should show:
    https://www4.cruzio.com/shopsite-images

    If you are on Website Hosting services, this should be set to:

    https://secure.cruzio.com/store-subdomain.domain.com/media

    Where store-subdomain is the store’s subdomain (or name of your store) and domain.com is your domain name. For example, if the URL for your ShopSite store is normally http://shop.example.com, “shop” would be the store-subdomain and example.com would be the domain name. Then in this example, the URL in “Secure Store URL” should show:
    https://secure.cruzio.com/shop.example.com/media

  6. Click the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page.

Now any page on your ShopSite admin interface that has a drop down menu for images will automatically use the Secure URL for the image on a secure page.

Image URLs

In addition to the image drop down menus in the ShopSite interface, you can also display these images by typing the full URLs in appropriate fields in your ShopSite configuration. Also, if the “Secure Store URL” is not set, or is not set correctly, you will have to manually enter the full https URL to each image.

If you are on Classic hosting, the URL for an image in the Media folder will be:

http://domain.com/shopsite-directory/media/image.jpg

Where domain.com is your domain name, shopsite-directory is the name of your ShopSite directory (which should have the same name as your ShopSite username), and image.jpg is the name of the image you uploaded to the Media folder (the .jpg extension was just used as an example, you are not limited to that extension).

If you are on Website Hosting services, the URL for an image in the Media folder will be:

https://secure.cruzio.com/stores-subdomain.domain.com/media/image.jpg

Where store-subdomain is the store’s subdomain (or name of your store), domain.com is your domain name, and image.jpg is the name of the image you uploaded to the Media folder (the .jpg extension was just used as an example, you are not limited to that extension).

Using SSH with your domain

What is SSH?

Secure Shell or SSH is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged using a secure channel between two networked devices. SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and other insecure remote shells, which send information, notably passwords, in plaintext, leaving them open for interception. The encryption used by SSH provides confidentiality and integrity of data over an insecure network.

Who can use SSH?

Members on our Website Hosting services can use SSH. We recommend that you only use SSH if you already have knowledge of UNIX.

Customers on our Classic hosting plan cannot use SSH.

If you have Website Hosting and would like to use SSH, please contact Cruzio and ask us to activate SSH for your domain.

How do I access my domain through SSH?

Be sure you back up your website before making any changes you can not easily recover from.

In order to view files, you need to use the same FTP login and password as your Administration login and password. You cannot use different FTP and Administration logins and passwords. When logging in, use the following command:

ssh adminlogin@domain.com

…replacing adminlogin with your administration login and domain.com with your domain name. When the server asks for a password, enter your FTP password.

Recommended SSH clients:

Windows: Putty
Mac OS X: Terminal (included in Mac OS X, in the Utilities folder)

What commands can I run?

Virtualmin Post-Installation Wizard Guide

No Comments

This guide will walk you through the initial setup of your Virtualmin control panel on your Cruzio VPS.

Connecting to the Virtualmin Wizard

  1. Browse to clientlogin.cruziohost.com:10000, replacing clientlogin with the login name you picked when you signed up.
  2. When prompted for your username and password, type root as the username and enter the password you selected when you signed up.

Using the Virtualmin Wizard

For each Virtualmin Wizard screen quoted below, follow the instructions.

Introduction screen

This post-installation wizard allows you to configure Virtualmin optimally for your system. You can make selections depending on whether you want to host websites, email or databases, and based on your system’s memory and CPU power.

Action to take: Click Next.
Memory Use screen

Virtualmin can be tuned to improve performance in its user interface and email processing, but at the cost of increased memory use. The best choice depends on how your system will be used.

Preload Virtualmin libraries?
Yes (more RAM used, faster Virtualmin UI – approximately 20M)
No (less RAM used, slower UI and more CPU load)

Run email domain lookup server?
Yes (more RAM used, faster mail processing – approximately 35M)
No (less RAM used, slower mail and more CPU load)

Action to take:

Make your selections based on your needs and the intended use of your virtual server. The default options should be appropriate for most users.

Click Next.

Virus Scanning screen

If your system is going to host domains that will receive a large amount of email, scanning incoming messages for viruses can generate high CPU load. This is due to CPU use by the ClamAV virus scanner when it is started, which can be avoided by running the ClamAV scanning server clamd in the background. This consumes RAM, but reduces CPU load and makes mail processing faster.

Run ClamAV server scanner?
Yes (more RAM used, faster mail processing – approximately 100M)
No (less RAM used, slower mail processing)

Action to take:

Make your selections based on your needs and the intended use of your virtual server. The default options should be appropriate for most users.

Click Next.

Spam Filtering screen

If your system is going to host domains that will receive a large amount of email, filtering incoming messages for spam can generate significant CPU load. This is due to CPU use by the SpamAssassin mail filter when it is started, which can be avoided by running the SpamAssassin filter server spamd in the background. This consumes RAM, but reduces CPU load and makes mail processing faster.

Run SpamAssassin server filter?
Yes (more RAM used, faster mail processing – approximately 30M)
No (less RAM used, slower mail processing)

Action to take:

Make your selections based on your needs and the intended use of your virtual server. The default options should be appropriate for most users.

Click Next.

Database servers screen

Virtualmin supports both the MySQL and PostgreSQL database servers, but you might want to run only one (or neither) on your system. Each consumes RAM when running, even if they are not being used.

Depending on the websites and applications you plan to host, running MySQL only may be enough, as most web applications do not support or require PostgreSQL. If your system will only be used for mail or DNS hosting, there is no need to run either.

Run MySQL database server?
Yes (more RAM used, needed for most non-static websites)
No (less RAM used)

Run PostgreSQL database server?
Yes (more RAM used, needed for some web applications)
No (less RAM used)

Action to take:

Make your selections based on your needs and the intended use of your virtual server. The default options should be appropriate for most users.

Click Next.

MySQL password screen
(only shown if you selected “Yes” for MySQL Server)

To prevent other users on your system from managing the MySQL database, a password for the root user should be set. Currently the MySQL password is not set, which is highly insecure. Set MySQL password (Enter a Password in the text box)

Action to take:

Enter a password. Click Next.

All done screen

Virtualmin post-installation configuration is now complete!
You can adjust the settings you just made on the Features and Plugins and Spam and Virus Scanning pages.

Action to take: Click Next.

Verifying the Virtualmin configuration

You’ll see a yellow box at the top of the screen with the message “Virtualmin’s configuration has not been checked since it was last updated. Click the button below to verify it now.”

Action to take: Click “Re-check and refresh configuration”.

Virtualmin will now check your server configuration. This can take a few seconds. When finished, the following message should display:

.. your system is ready for use by Virtualmin.
Updating all Webmin users with new settings..
.. done

Updating status collection job ..
.. done

Adding your first domain

You have now completed the post-installation wizard and your Virtual Server is set up.

Next, you may want to follow these instructions to add your first domain to your Cruzio VPS.

Control Panel Questions

How do I find out which host I am on?
Throughout this FAQ and in several other Cruzio help pages, you will find that some of these instructions will refer to different host numbers. If you do not know what host number you are on, after you log into your control panel, look at the URL at the top of your browser. You will see it start with ‘https://host’ followed by a number. That is the host number you are on.

» back to the top

Why do the help files in the control panel reference items I don’t see?
Some items in your control panel have been removed by Cruzio or replaced with third party applications which we think offer better features and usability. Occasionally you will see references to these items in the help files.

» back to the top

How do I activate the Domain control panel?
The domain control panel allows you to give access to a single domain to a different user. To activate your domain control panel:

  1. Login to your domain control panel at http://login.cruzio.com. You may need to log in twice.
  2. Select a domain. If you are on host 6 or 7, this can be accessed by first clicking ‘Domains’ under the Main Menu in the upper left hand corner.
  3. If you are on host 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, select the ‘Domain Administrator’ icon.If you are on host 6 or 7, select the ‘Domain Administrator Access’ icon.
  4. Check the box next to ‘Allow domain administrator access’. You’ll need to provide a password and (optionally) set some permissions.
  5. Select ‘OK’ when finished to apply the settings.

» back to the top

How do I create a subdomain?
  1. Login to your domain control panel at http://login.cruzio.com. You may need to log in twice.
  2. Select a domain. If you are on host 6 or 7, this can be accessed by first clicking ‘Domains’ under the Main Menu in the upper left hand corner.
  3. On host 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, under the ‘Hosting’ section, select the icon labeled ‘Subdomains’.On host 6 or 7, under the ‘Web Site’ section, select the icon labeled ‘Subdomains’.
  4. On host 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, select ‘Add New Subdomain’ and indicate your preferences. When you’re finished select ‘OK’.On host 6 or 7, select ‘Create Subdomain’ and indicate your preferences. When you’re finished select ‘OK’.
  5. For an explanation of each of preference, choose the ‘Help’ link in the left column. You will need to specify the subdomain name and an FTP Login.

What is a ‘Custom Button’?
It’s a button you can add to the control panel interface for quick access to sections of your Website or external sites. To create a new button or manage an existing one on host 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, select the ‘Custom Button’ icon from the ‘Home’ interface. To create a new button or manage an existing one on host 6 or 7, select the ‘Custom Buttons’ icon from the ‘Additional Tools’ interface.

» back to the top

What is a ‘Web User’?
You can create accounts that permit users to upload files to a domain’s Web space. To do this, you create a ‘Web User’. The user will have his own FTP profile (login and password) and the pages will be visible at the ‘Web User’ address: http://www.yourdomain.com/~login. Please note that, as the files are owned by the individual ‘Web User’, they can’t be managed via the administrator’s FTP profile or from the ‘File Manager’. There is no control panel or email associated with the ‘Web User’.

» back to the top

Why won’t my hosting preferences update?
If you encounter this error while trying to create an Web (FTP) user “Error: Unable to update hosting preferences: User already exists”, try using a different login name. FTP logins must be unique on the server.

» back to the top

How do I return to the default DNS settings?
For host 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, you can return your DNS settings back to what they were originally by clicking on the domain name in your control panel, selecting ‘DNS’, and then clicking the ‘Default’ button. For host 6 or 7 click ‘Domains’, select your domain, click on ‘DNS Settings’, and then select the ‘Restore Defaults’ button.

Website Development Questions

Why does my website have a Cruzio “Under Construction” page when I browse to it?
By default we put an “Under Construction” page up on your domain. It is in the httpdocs folder and is named index.html.

You can replace this with your own web page. Create your own file named index.html (be sure you use this exact name).

  1. Using either your control panel’s File Manager, or an FTP program, access the httpdocs folder.
  2. If you want to keep the Cruzio “Under Construction” page for a backup, rename the original index.html to index.old.
  3. Upload your own index.html to the httpdocs folder.

If your web site is php-based, rather than html-based (Joomla and WordPress sites are php-based and not html), you may want to remove the index.html file without replacing it.

When you remove the default index.html page, you may also remove these associated files and folders from the httpdocs folder to save storage space:

  • css
  • img
  • picture_library
  • test
  • favicon.ico

However, plesk-stat should not be removed.

» back to the top

How do I upload batches of files using File Manager?
The control panel File Manager does not support batch uploading of files. We recommend you use an FTP client such as FileZilla for Windows or CyberDuck for Mac. Both programs are free.

» back to the top

What is Installatron, and how do I use it?
Installatron is a utility for installing and managing Web applications. Log into your control panel. In the sidebar, click the Installatron Applications Installer link. From the Installatron screens, you can browse available Web applications and install any of your choice: WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and many more. You can also upgrade, back up, restore, or clone any of your installed applications.

» back to the top

Why do I get errors when I try to upload image files to my WordPress site?
Usually, this error happens only to a manually-installed WordPress. WordPress sites installed with Installatron do not have this issue.
If you installed WordPress manually using an FTP application, you won’t be able to upload images via your WordPress Media Library until you change the permissions of these WordPress folders:

/wp-content
/wp-content/uploads

Change the permissions of these folders to allow read, write, and execute capabilities to owner, group, and others (in other words, 777 permissions). See How to change file permissions for the step-by-step instructions. You’ll want to check all the permissions checkboxes for these two folders.

» back to the top

What naming convention should I use for my files?
  • SSI’s – .shtml
  • PHP – .php
  • Python – .py
  • Java – .war
  • Apache::ASP – .asp
  • Perl – .pl or .cgi

Perl scripts will run in both the httpdocs and cgi-bin directories and their subdirectories.

» back to the top

Where should I put my CGI files?
Plesk, by default, has a cgi-bin directory at the root level of the domain, hierarchically above the httpdocs directory, where you put your Web files. This is for the sake of security.

However, for ease of use, Cruzio has set it up to allow you to also run cgi’s within any directory of your Web space, should you choose to do so.

The one limitation to this is that you cannot have a cgi-bin directory directly within the httpdocs directory, as that path is aliased to the one at the root level.

» back to the top

Can I use features like Installatron with my subdomain?
Installatron is only available to domains set up on the control panel homepage. You can set up a subdomain as a domain.

  1. Login to your domain control panel at http://login.cruzio.com. You may need to log in twice.
  2. For host 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, select ‘Add New Domain’.For host 6 or 7, Select ‘Domains’ and then click ‘Create Domain’.
  3. Fill in the entire domain name for the ‘Domain name’ field. Example: sub.domain.com.
  4. For host 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, click OK and then select ‘Physical Hosting’, then click OK.For host 6 or 7, make sure ‘Hosting type’ is set to ‘Web Site Hosting’.
  5. For host 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, enter an FTP login and password for the new domain, choose the services and quotas you would like for the new domain, and then click ‘OK’.For host 6 or 7, enter an FTP Login and Password for the new domain, then select ‘Next’. Choose the services and quotas you would like for the new domain and select ‘Finish’.

» back to the top

How do I set up programs like WordPress, Joomla! or Drupal for use as a homepage?
From your control panel, select the domain you want to use (If on hosts 6 or 7, first click ‘Domains’ under the Main Menu in the upper left corner) and then select the Installatron icon. Click on the Application Browser tab, then select the program you want to install from the list on the right. Click the ‘install this application’ button. Under the Install Location section, change the text in the box to a forward slash (/) only.

Complete the remaining steps provided on the screen. Your program will now be installed in the top level of your domain, instead of in a subdirectory.

Only install one program in the top level of your domain; if you try to install another program in the same location, it may overwrite the files needed by the first program.

Can I use WordPress to build a site with simple, hierarchical pages?
Yes. Once you have installed WordPress, go to your WordPress administrative page. In the WordPress admin menu, click Pages and then in the submenu click New Page. Create as many pages as you wish. You can make any page the subpage of another by specifying the Page Parent in the controls below.

In the admin menu, click Settings, and in the submenu, click Reading. In the Front Page Displays section, select “A static page.” In the “Front page” menu, choose your desired homepage. At the bottom of the screen, click “Save changes.” This page is now your WordPress homepage.

My site requires ASP. Will that work with Cruzio?
It depends. Our hosting platform supports Apache ASP, but not ASP.net. If it’s an Apache ASP package you’re using, it will work.

Coppermine versus Gallery, which to choose?
Coppermine and Gallery are both very useful photo gallery programs, each with different strengths. Coppermine is built to match and tie in to PHPbb, so for users who have an established PHPbb installation who wish to add a multi-user gallery, Coppermine would be a good choice.

How do I password-protect certain folders or pages in my Web space?
  1. Login to your domain control panel at http://login.cruzio.com. You may need to log in twice.
  2. Go to the domains section of your control panel and click the name of the domain whose directories you want to password-protect.
  3. On host 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, choose ‘Protected Directories’ then select ‘Add New Directory’.On host 6 or 7, choose ‘Password Protected Directories’ then select ‘Add New Directory’.
  4. Specify the path to the directory that you wish to password protect in the space provided for ‘Directory name’. This can be any directory existing in your site, for example: /private. If the directory that you would like to protect has not yet been created, specify the path and the directory name, and the directory will be created for you.
  5. In the space provided for ‘Directory location’, specify in what location (also called document root) your password-protected directory resides or will reside. For example:
    • To protect a directory in httpdocs, select Non-SSL.
    • To protect a directory in httpsdocs (note the extra ‘s’ after ‘http’), select SSL.
    • To protect your CGI scripts stored in the cgi-bin directory, leave ‘/’ in the Directory name box and select the cgi-bin check box. Make sure there are no white spaces after the slash symbol; otherwise, a protected directory will be created with the name consisting of white spaces.
  6. In the ‘Header Text’ box, type a resource description or a welcome message that your users will see when they visit your protected area.
  7. Click ‘OK’. The directory you specified will be protected.
  8. To add a user, select ‘Add New User’.
  9. Specify the login name and password that will be used for accessing the protected area. The password should be from 5 to 14 characters in length. Select ‘OK’.

Why can’t I modify modules that I installed using Joomla?
This is a known issue. The modules install OK, but all the files end up being “owned” by the Web server, not the client login, so you can’t edit them. Luckily, if you download the JoomlaXplorer extension, you can edit the files even though they’re owned by the Web server. Be sure to have a look at the accompanying ‘Read Me’ for detailed instructions.

How do I upload files using Dreamweaver?
In Dreamweaver, create a new site and use the following ‘Remote Info’ settings:

FTP host: (domain name)
Host directory: (leave blank or enter httpdocs)
Login: (client login)
Password: (client password)

The Joomla 1.5 setup requires an FTP user, FTP password, and FTP root path. What should I use for these settings?
You should use the FTP login and password that is associated with your domain or subdomain, as applicable.

The ftp root path settings depend on whether you are installing in your main httpdocs folder, a subfolder, or on a subdomain.

For the main httpdocs folder, the root path would be /httpdocs

For a subfolder, the root path would be /httpdocs/[subfoldername]

For a subdomain, the root path depends on how you set things up.

If you set up the subdomain as a primary domain (by using the Add New Domain icon in the control panel), your ftp path would be /httpdocs or, if you installed joomla in a directory within the subdomain, /httpdocs/[subfoldername].

If you set up the subdomain within the primary domain (by using the Subdomains icon in the control panel) AND if, during setup, you chose to “Use the FTP user account of the main domain”, you root path would be /subdomains/[subdomainhost]/httpdocs (for example, if installing on subdomain foo.domain.com, the path would be /subdomains/foo/httpdocs).

If, when setting up the subdomain with the primary domain, you chose to “Create a separate FTP user account for this subdomain”, your root path would be /httpdocs or, if you installed joomla in a directory within the subdomain, /httpdocs/[subfoldername].

If you have any question about these settings, please contact Cruzio support.
