I need to know how to...

1. What is the name if my default home page?
   If you don't specify a specific page the server searches for the first page in the following list.
   ie. http://www.YourDomain.Com/ or http://www.YourDomain.Com/directory/
    
   In order. The fist match will be used!
   index.html
   index.htm
   index.shtml
   home.html
   home.htm
   default.html
   default.htm
   index.php
   default.php
   index.asp
   default.asp
   
   
2. Where do I FTP content so that it appears on my main webspace? http://www.domain.com
   By default FTP will start in the users home directory (/home/sites/www.domain.com/users/username aka:/home/sites/sitexx/users/username). Users that have Site Administrator's Privileges can move up two directory levels and into the web directory{../../web or /web depending on your FTP clients behavior} and FTP content to the main web space. Limo.Net suggests setting up a seperate FTP login to that has ../../web{period period slash} as the initial Remote Site Folder. Or you can FTP in and manually move up two directory levels and into the web direcory.
   
   
3. How do I Publish my site using Microsoft Front Page?
   • NOTE: Front Page Extensions are turned OFF by Default. If you require Front Page support turn on please contact us and request Front Page support be turned on for your site. NOTE: The Front Page username will be webmaster and you can set upto an 8 character password.
   • Use File/Publish Web within Front Page. Publish your web to: http://www.domain.com/ {NOTE: the trailing slash}
   • Each user of your domain is also allowed to publish an individual home page.  Individual user's home page(s) URL is http://www.domain.com/~username the tilde character{squiggle} is near the 1 on most keyboards.
   • Our server supports FrontPage 2000 extensions.  Just use the File/Publish Web within Microsoft Front Page.
   • In this example I use the username user77
   • Specify the location to publish your web as:   http://www.domain.com/~user77
   • User ID - Your Username
   • What is the name if my default home page?
     If you don't specify a specific page the server searches for the first page in the following list.
     ie. http://www.Domain.Com/~username or http://www.Domain.Com/~username/directory/
   
   
   
4. Is there any Usage Statistice available?
   Basic statistics are available within the Site Management interface http://www.DomainName.com/siteadmin and then select Site Usage.
   Limo.Net has also installed Webalizer which parses the web server logs each morning at 5:30am and gives a more detail about who is visiting your site. Webalizer keeps track of Daily, Hourly & Monthly hits and also graphs the information in bar and pie charts. To use webalizer all you need to do is enter http://www.DomanNamce.Com/stats and use your sitadmin username and password.
   
   
5. How to I setup a Catch All Email address?
   Ie. you have 3 E-mail addresses defined for your domain. {Larry, Curly & Moe}. Login as Site Administrator for your domain. Ie. http://www.Domain.Com/siteadmin Click on the Blue Envelope for the username Moe. Enter @www.domain.com as an E-Mail Aliases and then . Mail directed to either Larry, Curly or Moe will be delevered to their respective mailbox and any mail directed to any address other than Larry or Curly will end up in Moe's mailbox. NOTE: DO-NOT use a catch all if your using our Filtering/Virus Protection! If a spammer sends 2000 E-mails to unique addresses within your domain your filtering bill will be huge!
   
   
6. How do I password protect a directory?
   For this example, we will show you how to password protect a the directory named members. ie.{http://www.domain.com/members}. You can apply this procedure to user sites also by changing the directories.

   1. Telnet in, and login with your username and password. note: Your site and username must have Telnet access enabled.
   2. Create the .htaccess file, it should contain at least the following lines:

   require valid-user
   Authname "My Protected Page"
   Authtype Basic
   AuthUserFile /home/sites/www.domain.com/web/members/.htpasswd

   NOTE: The AuthUserFile should be in the directory that you want to password protect. The above example shows how to protect the 'sitename' site.

   3. Now we want to create the htpasswd file using the htpasswd command in the /usr/sbin/ directory. type:
   /usr/bin/htpasswd -c /home/sites/www.domain.com/web/members/.htpasswd username

   It will prompt you for the password twice
   NOTE: The -c flag in this command signifies that it must create the file. To add further users to the htpasswd file, repeat the same command WITHOUT the -c flag.
   

7. Where is Perl Interpreter located? {/usr/bin/perl}
8. Where is Sendmail located? {/usr/sbin/sendmail}
9. Where is the cgi-bin directory located? The Cobalt RaQ4i server will intrepret any .cgi or .pl files in any directory. If you like you can create a cgi-bin in your root directory if you prefer to use cgi-bin.
   ie. /home/sites/www.domain.com/web/cgi-bin The CGI 'Wrapper will require that the file is owned by a user on your site and the the file has execute permissions set ie. {chmod 755 filename.cgi or chmod 755 filename.pl}
10. How do I access the site administrator control panel for my website?
11. What are the Technical Specifications of the RaQ4i Server?
