New Server Information  
Whilst most of the information in our technical sections still applies there are some important differences in the way these servers work compared to the RaQ's.

E-Mail

Your POP3 server ( as you set up in your mail program ) should be :
mail.yoursite.com

It is also important that you do not enter your username in the aliases box of
the control panels mail settings.

FTP

Connect to the server :
ftp.yoursite.com

It is important that when you are entering the settings in your FTP program that you enter the remote start up folder as :
/web

You will then be connected straight to the correct directory to upload you files to. Please note that if you do not enter this you will not be able to navigate to the correct directory.

CGI Scripts

The various paths to PERL are the same as for our other servers.

CGI scripts should be only placed in the cgi-bin

Images can not be served from the cgi-bin.

Control Panel

The control panel is located at :
http://www.yoursite.com/admin

If you add a user make sure you only have one account that has siteadmin permission, this
will be the only account that can publish to your main site.

Publishing with FrontPage

You should always use the username : webmaster when using
FrontPage to publish a site and the password we sent you.
For everything else ( Mail / Control Panel ) use the username and password we sent you.
DO NOT mix FrontPage and FTP otherwise the extensions will become corrupt and you will
not be able to use FP.
