iManager
When you log into
http://[Domain
or IP Specified in your Activation
Letter]/cgi-bin/admin/imanager.cgi , you get the following
screen. You will also see a not saying the iRoot Plugin Utility was
detected. This does not concern AW Hosting Plan holders at BWSD.
As in the diagram, you must login with your LoginID -- the same one
you use with FTP, and with your login password, also the same one
you use with FTP. The PATH must be
/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/yourloginID. This utility gives you a
web-browser interface to your directory structure, where you may
upload and download files, or change site settings, etc.

Wizards These help pages will explain the workings of iManger
for you. Please ignore any references to AW Virtual Server Owner
features, such as installing iManager, etc. Except for the fact that
your access is restricted to your directory tree, everything else
about iManger's workings is the same as it is for a virtual server
owner. |
Pre-configured Form Mail
Using
the common formmail script
Not everyone is Unix knowledgable, or cares to configure their own
cgi-scripts. For this reason, we have made available upon request, a
pre-configured FormMail script, which you can run by simply creating
the HTML form. To use the FormMail script, you need to create a
directory in your main root called "vcgi-bin". You
do not need to place any files there. In order to reference the
system FormMail script, you need to call it in this manner:
<FORM ACTION="/vcgi-bin/FormMail.pl" METHOD="POST>
Just place your <input> tags between the <FORM>
</FORM> tags. There is one mandatory <input>
tag. That is the follwing.
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="recipient"
VALUE="you@yourdomain.com"> There is a
help file
to help you to configure <input> tags that are
preconfigured with the script. This will open in a new browser
window.
None of the other pre-configured tags are mandatory. You may add
any tags you wish to have returned to you, any information you wish
to collect on your form. The NAME= can be anything you
desire.
If you would like to use the pre-configured formmail script, please
email formmail@web-design.net
and request that you be added to the configuration file of valid
users. Make sure to include your domain name and account name
(LoginID).
NOTE: AW HOSTING PLAN Accounts activated after September 1, 1998
automatically have the vcgi-bin installed, and access to the
FormMail.pl script. |
Guestlist.cgi
guestlist.cgi is a
GuestBook script you may install in your cgi-bin. It requires a
minimum of setup, and comes pretty much pre-configured.
AW Hosting Plan clients follow all the directions at
Configuration Instructions
copying the two HTML files there, guestentry.html and
guestlist.html, as templates to get you started. Everything except,
the "TELNET to your server" part is the same. Instead of
telnetting to your server, you grab the two scripts here following
the directions below:
guestlist.cgi.txt COPY THIS FILE
AND PASTE IT INTO A TEXT FILE
Save the file as "guestlist.cgi" and upload it to your
cgi-bin, using your FTP client. REMEMBER: All cgi scripts must
be uploaded/downloaded in ASCII (text mode)
-- This is the most common type of error with cgi scripts. This
file must be chmoded to 755. Do this with your FTP client, by
choosing "Change File Permissions" or whatever it says for
changing the permissions of a file, in the menu of your FTP client,
for File Options. When you view the permissions from your FTP client
when you are finished, it should look like this: -rwxr-xr-x
util.pl.txt COPY THIS FILE AND PASTE IT
INTO A TEXT FILE
Save the file as "util.pl" and upload it to your cgi-bin,
using your FTP client, once again making sure the upload is in ASCII
mode.
REMEMBER ALSO: UNIX is case sensitive, so guestlist.cgi is
not the same as Guestlist.cgi, or guestlist.CGI. Make sure your
filenames are all lower case.
You will need to edit a couple of things in the guestlist.cgi script
with your text editor, being careful to save in text mode only. (Use
WordPad, or some other text mode editor.) You will also need to edit
the HTML file to reflect your directory path and your email address,
and the maximum number of entries you would like your guestlist to
display. |
