unix virtual server

Setting up includes installing and connecting to iManager, and configuring iManager for Virtual Hosts

If iManager is already installed, skip Installing iManager and go to “Connecting to iManager.”

Installing iManager
To install iManager:
    1. Connect to your VPS v2 Virtual Server using SSH and type:
      % vinstall imanager2
    2. Press y and Enter to accept the default file location, /usr/local/apache/htdocs.
Connecting to iManager
To connect to iManager:
    1. Open a browser and go to http://your_company.com/imanager/ (Replace your_company.com with your own domain.)
    2. When the iManager login window appears, type your username and password and click Login
Configuring iManager for a Specific Virtual Host
This section is not necessary if you are using iManager only for the primary domain on your VPS v2 Virtual Server.

If you want specific Virtual Host (Subhost) users to manage their own accounts using iManager, do one of the following.

Method A
Method A uses a symbolic link between your iManager program and the subhosted user’s document root (the directory from which Web files are served to the Internet).
    1. Connect to your VPS v2 Virtual Server using SSH and type:
      cd /home/username/www/subhost_domain.name
    2. To make a symbolic link to the iManager directory, type:
      % ln -s /usr/local/apache/htdocs/imanager imanager

Configuring iManager for all Virtual Subhosts
To make iManager accessible for all of VPS v2 Virtual Server’s virtual hosts’ users:
    1. Edit the /www/conf/httpd.conf file.
    2. Under Aliases, type:
      Alias /imanager/ /usr/local/apache/htdocs/imanager/
    3. Save the file and close the editor.
    4. At the command line, type restart_apache and press Enter.
Now all virtual hosts’ users can do the following:
  • Change their passwords and view their quotas and disk usage.
  • Upload files to their home directories and edit those files.
  • Send and receive e-mail through the web-based Mail Manager.
Virtual Host Users: Connecting to iManager
Users associated with virtual host domains on your VPS v2 Virtual Server use the following instructions.
    1. Open a browser and go to http://imanager.your_company.com, or http://your_company.com/imanager, (depending on how it was set up) where iManager is the specific CNAME record you created in the previous section.
    2. When the iManager login window appears, type your username and password and click Login. The iManager utility screen appears.
