Installation / Re: Hostname / Main Server Account & Domain

« on: June 07, 2023, 07:59:42 PM »

Thank you for replying. I have followed this process many times without success.

I have entered server1.mydomain.com in the Change Hostname screen.

Before you do it, make sure the value (subdomain) used by you as "Hostname" is resolved to the primary IP address of your VPS/server.

How is this done? I tried to set up DNS and create the records for the domain name and nameservers with still no luck.

Then you can create an account for your domain name "example.com" and upload the files of your website into the account to make example.com accessible for internet users.

Why do I have to create a new account? I wanted to manage this all from root account. It is not for my users, it is so I can access the admin panel securely using SSL.

I thank you for this information. I am tryin to learn this again.

Thank you.

Installation / Hostname / Main Server Account & Domain

« on: June 07, 2023, 01:52:34 PM »

I am new to CWP and a bit confused about the initial setup / config for the main "Admin or Root" account.

The hostname is server1.mydomain.com and it will be the admin / root account that will access this address. All other user accounts and hosted domains will be added to the VPS at a later time.

When I try to setup SSL (auto free etc.) for the server1 host, I am asked to choose a domain and account. So do I need to create a domain and additional user account to access the admin / root account as if it was a user or is this taken care of buy the server settings change hostname?

I currently have zero domains and zero accounts setup, ONLY the CWP root account and my hostname server1.mydoamin.com

Any advice how I can access the admin panel via the root account using SSL?
