This Tutorial will be divided into 7 different parts, and this is the first part, when i get the other parts together, i will post the links under here biggrin.gif Enjoy.
Part 1: E-mail Management
Part 2: Useful Site Management Tools
Part 3: Useful Site Management Tools2.1
Part 4: Analysis/Log Files
Part 6: PreInstalled Scripts, Extras, and Cpanel Options
Part 7: Fantastico

Detailed Cpanel Tutorial Part 4: Advanced Tools



In this tutorial I will, in detail explain all of the features of the current cpanel version of trap17.com hosting going from the top of the screen to the bottom.. I have completely written this up myself.

Advanced Tools
- Cron Jobs
With this Cron Job's feature, you can set the server to automatically do tasks that you do not feel like doing every day, every week, every month, or how ever often you want it done. SO if you are skilled enough, you can look into this and schedule the server to do things on a daily basis.

- Mine Types
With this feature, you can tell the server what type of files you can open with your server. Or just how certain extensions are handled in the server.

- Apache Handlers
This feature will tell the server how to treat certain files on the server.

- Manage Open PGP keys
I don't know what this is for but according to google it is used for a secure communication online.

- Networking Tools
With this feature, you can look-up the DNS Settings for another website, you can also look up the server Ip address. You can also trace a route between you and the server but that feature is disabled on trap17 currently.

- SSL Manager
SSL manager will let you make SSL Certificates on the server as well as install things that require SSL which is basically an extra layer of protection for peoples personal information if you are collecting any.

Short, simple and to the point - just the way a tutorial should be. You've summed up the meaning of each feature very well.

I wondered what the hell that SSL Manager was for...

Have you ever bought something online? and you see a symbol, or text that says something that says SSL or somthing on it..... well i think it has to do with the extra saftey encryption of private information... Paypal uses it for their accounts

lol thanx biggrin.gif it took me a few days to type this all up, cut the images, then write it up in BB code but i think it was worth the post because so far no one has flamed the post -knocks on wood- or the other 6 parts of the tutorial biggrin.gif so that's a plus i suppose :S

very good tutorial but i feel that you could have maybe gone into each one a bit more like how to set cron jobs etc, but it's ok if you didn't i guess there might be another tut on that somewhere.....

@randomdood, this was basically just a walk through of it, i am currently in the process of compiling a HUMONGUS tutorial on prettty much EVERY feature that is in the cpanel. whether it be as small as changing the default e-mail address, or as large as setting the cron jobs (im going to have to do some research on those sad.gif)
