MySql Databases
You will have seen some scripts already on this panel that use one of these databases to run. When you get to the Fantastico part of the panel you will find many more scripts, again using these databases
If you are a beginner then the best thing to do is to install the scripts automatically and allow these databases to be created for you - but if you have some knowledge then all you need to do is follow the instructions:-
Create a database
Create a user
Attach a user to the database
Front page extensions
Click on the icon and follow the instructions!
Cron Jobs
Cron jobs allow you to automate repetitive tasks on the server that hosts your web site. This is a powerful tool that allows you to take a hands-free approach to repetitive tasks. For example, you could add a cron job that automatically copies a MySQL database to a separate location on your site as a backup.
There are two different modes you can use to add a cron job:
Standard - Provides a range of pre-set options that you can choose. This is the simplest method and is recommended.
Advanced (Unix Style) - Provides the regular Unix style cron options. Recommended for users who are used to this method of entering cron entries.
Warning: You need to have a good knowledge of Linux commands before you can use cron jobs effectively. Check your script with your hosting administrator before adding a cron job.
To add or modify a cron job:
Click on the Cron jobs button on the home page.
If you want to use the Standard mode, click on the Standard button.
Enter the e-mail address to send the results of running the cron job in the top field.
Enter the command the you want to run in the Command to run field. You need to point to the file that contains the script that needs to be run - so for example (single space between php & /home/), if the username is benevolent001 and the subdirectory is myads, then you should use below line for Cron Manager.
php /home/benevolent001/public_html/myads/maintenance/maintenance.php
Click on one option from each of the available lists.
Click on the Save Crontab button. Your cron job has now been added or updated.
Note: You can always click on the Reset Changes button to change the cron job back to whatever it was before you started entering information
Network Tools
This contains two domain name server tools that you can use to find out information. Try the domain without the www first as this seems to work best
Mime Types (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)
The server already recognises many file extensions - you have the possibility of adding new extensions by simply adding to the list that exists
Apache Handler
Apache is one of the pieces of software sitting on the server. It is unlikely you will need to add specific instructions but as with most of the control panel the possibility is there if you need to do so
Manage PGP
This is software that will encrypt - only use this if you feel comfortable with what you are doing! If you want to find out more however look at this article here
