How to manage all of the servers of your network.

In this post we will explain how to manage servers on your network under server tab in admin area. We will cover following information: view statistics, check Api, name servers

Manage Server & View Statistics: Access server, edit server, view server statistics and all other server related functions.

Check HMS API: This will check the HMSPANEL API for the server. You are looking for successful response here. If you do not reeve one, control panel functions for the server will not work.

Make Default: The default server is the server HMSPANEL will use to setup shared hosting accounts when Auto Shared Setup is enabled. If 10 servers have Auto Shared Setup enabled, HMSPANEL will use the Default server to setup accounts.

Make NS1: Specify which of the servers in your network will act as NS1 name server. Generally this will be enabled when HMSPANEL is installed and your primary/master server will be your NS1.

Make NS2:Specify which of the servers in your network will act as the NS2 name server. Even if your NS1 & NS2 are on the same machine, do not label your NS1 server as NS2. Enable an NS2 server when you’re using a true NS2 setup and only then.

Restart Apache: Will restart Apache on the server.

Duplicate Server: This feature is useful when adding another server to your network. It will duplicate the existing server and keep most, if not all of the settings. This will duplicate the existing server and keep most, if not all settings. This way when you modify the newly duplicated server, you will only need to modify a few values.

Delete Server: This will delete the server from your network. Use this feature with caution.

Used By: if multiple accounts are setup on the server then the server will act as a shared server and Used By will show Shared {number}, where number is the number of user accounts setup on the server. If one account is setup on a server then the server will act as a dedicated server and Used By will show the clients name only. Please note that virtual private servers act as dedicated servers within HMSPANEL.

The rest of the information shown such as statistics snapshot, server ID and server name is pretty straight-forward

In this post we will explain how to manage general system setting in admin control panel.

Site name, Url & email settings.
Site Name: Your licensed domain. Cannot be modified. Site Url: Your licensed URL. Cannot be modified. System Email Address: All system related emails, to and from, will be sent to this address or be sent from this email address.

Allowed TLD List.
Enter the TLD”s you wish to support. Users can only add domains if the TLD is listed.

Plan Prefix.
Plan Prefix Name: This plan prefix name will be the prefix for all plans under “Plan Management”. So, shared plan number 1 is labeled as S.1 by HMSPANEL, the plan will appear throughout the screen as PREFIX.S.1 The same applies to all other plans.

Page Titles.
Page titles are just that, the page titles for your front-end web site, client control panel and administration area.

Release Letters.
They are contain access information for a client”s plan. When you send a client a Release Letter, you can opt to have a carbon copy sent to the administration email address.

Account/Plan ID Start Number.
When HMSPANEL is installed there is one user account with one plan. The next client that”s added would be number 2. To make your business appear a bit more established, you can update the client number that HMSPANEL will use next.

In this blog we will explain how to manage your administration area users or create new users. In particular we will explain how to add administrator.

 Adding an administrator is simple. Simple click “Add Administrator” from the left navigation and enter the necessary credentials. You will need to have an understanding of the “User Level” feature when adding & editing users as well as editing the page levels below. Levels simply grant administration users access to all pages or specific level set of pages. Administrators need to be at the same level, or greater, as the “Individual Page levels” to be able to access those pages.

Example: If you wanted to add an administration user that did not have access to any billing related pages then you would add an administrator at level 9. You would then use the “Global level change” and set all pages to level 9. Finally you would go through all of the “Individual Page Levels” and set all billing related pages to level 10. The level 9 user you added would not be able to access the billing related pages set to level 10 and would only be able to access pages set to level 9 and below.
