Cpanel Advanced Tools - Part 5 of My 7 Part Tutorial

Albus Dumbledore

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.....

Albus Dumbledore
@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)

Great tutorial, I´ll definitely bookmark it so I know what the hell can I do with some of the cpanel features which always seemed odd to me. sad.gif It´s like... you have lots of icons and you hardly know what the half of them are for. tongue.gif Thanks!

Thanks a lot Albus! It is very useful. This will really help me make my site better.

Albus Dumbledore
before you even think about using the cron jobs, i suggest that you do allot of reaserch on how to do them, because they are very advanced tools, i think it is the most advanced tool in there, and this tutorial does not explain how to do them, but just what they are.

SO google a couple of times and see what you come up with because i dont want you to think that by the information given in this tutorial that you can go and do advanced stuff in cron jobs, but if you think you can go right ahead, but i claim no responsability for any damage to your site thaat you may cause

This is a great tutorial. I'm glad you wrote this, I've always been confused about what Cron Jobs are. I'll be able to use that a LOT. Thank you so much for posting this.

Albus Dumbledore
lol thanks, it took a while to write it, including all of the pictures and everything but i think it was well worth it. I figured that by now someone would have written a full Cpanel Tutorial/Walkthough by now, but no one has, so i did biggrin.gif and it was well worth it i think..

Emjoy the tut's

Great tutorial, definately going to refer to this first when i'm having issues with stuff on my Cpanel. Thanks for the info, well written. Gives a very good explanation of all those symbols once you log into your cpanel, those can get confusing....agreed sprnknwn
