If you upload zip files and need to move the files after extraction, or just find that you need to move files around, here’s how.
Log into the ISPmanager control panel.
Navigate to the folder that has the file or folder that you want to move.
Select the file or folder and click “Copy” at the top of the page.
Select the folder you want to move the file(s)/folder(s) to and check the “Move Files” option. Click Ok to perform the move.
In the above image, “Overwrite” should be selected if you already have the same file(s) in the folder you are moving into as this will allow the newer files to overwrite the older files.
The option “Open the selected directory” is self-explanatory.
Your ISPmanager panel is where you’ll manage files, databases, FTP users, add a website, SSL, and lots more. If you’ve used Cpanel or Plesk before, you’ll find it similar to those.
Details to log into ISPmanager were sent to your email when you created the server.
You can reach the ISPmanager by typing one of the following in the browser address bar:
http://your_server_ip:1500 Replace “your_server_ip” with your actual server ip address or just click the link in the email.
or
http://yourhostname.yourdomain.com:1500 Replace “yourhostname.yourdomain.com” with your own hostname and domain.
Note: You need to have your hostname DNS record set to the server IP in order to use it for the URL.
Changing Panel Settings If you want to change the language, password, username or other user settings for the panel follow these steps:
Navigate to Settings > User settings
On the right will be all of the settings available. Change what you want and click “Ok” at the bottom of the page.
A DNS “A” record connect your domain name to your server IP address. “A” records let users enter your domain name in a Web browser to access your website.
Using BryZar DNS Manager
If you host with us, you would go to your client dashboard and click to Manage DNS.
If you have not added the domain/zone then please add from Manage DNS.
Add your domain. Don’t enter a subdomain here.
Select the server.
Select the DNS server.
Set the TTL or leave it automatic.
Once the nameservers are ready, you will need to change the assigned nameservers from your domain registrar to the nameservers provided in “Manage DNS.” eg. ns1.yournameserver.com, ns2.yournameserver.com
Note: For TTL you can set it as low as 300 for faster propagation then later change it to 7200 or higher. You may also want to add a CNAME or A record for “www”.
Using Other DNS
If you want to use your own DNS, Cloudflare or your registrar, please see their specific instructions as each provider is different. Adding an “A” record: Type: A Name: yourdomain.com Value: your_server_ip_address TTL: 1800
Note: DNS propagation may take a couple of hours, or 24-72 hours depending on your domain registrar.
3. You’ll be brought to the Softaculous page that lists all of the available software that you can install.
4. Choose the software you want to install. For this tutorial, we’ll install WordPress.
5. Hover the mouse over the WordPress icon and click “Install.”
6. Choose the software setup you want. We recommend keeping it https secure. To install in the root (public_html) which is recommended, delete “wp” from the “In Directory” line, leaving it blank. When choosing the domain, be extra careful to choose the right one if you have more than one domain on the server.
7. Enter your site name and description.
8. Add your admin details. We recommend clicking to generate a random password. Be sure to copy down the details.
9. Choose your language and select your plugins.
10. To setup the database with the install, click Advanced Options. You can select for WordPress, plugins and themes to automatically update if you want to save the hassle of upgrading each time there’s a release.
Do not select the automatic backups. You already have free offsite backups with BryZar hosting. Setting the backup setting here can cause issues with your server or corrupt backups.
Before clicking Install, be sure to fill in an email for the details to be sent.
After clicking Install, it will take a few minutes for the software to download to the server. You’ll see a success message once install completes.
Although you can use your server to send transactional emails such as notifications, password reset and others, we recommend using an SMTP service.
SMTP Service advantages:
Send millions of emails.
Faster email delivery.
Higher deliverability rate.
IP reputation.
Domain reputation.
Reduce the chance of being blocked by email providers.
Some reasons why Email providers may block your mail:
IP reputation.
Spammy messages.
Domain reputation.
Incorrect SPF or missing DKIM.
You have been marked as spam by recipient or by anti-spam organizations.
We recommend using our SMTP Services. We offer free and paid SMTP service. More info on our SMTP service is found here.
Use Cases:
Transactional emails such as welcome messages, email verification, password reset, purchase confirmation, invoices and other emails that are sent by your site.
Your own Newsletter system.
Advantages of using SMTP services:
High delivery rate.
Fast email delivery.
Higher rate limiting.
Reduce server load.
Prevent your server IP from being blacklisted.
Prevent your server from being abused by spammers.
Prevent your email from being blacklisted.
Predictable Pricing.
Adding the SMTP Service
When on your dashboard navigate to Manage Mail > SMTP Accounts > Add SMTP Service
Add your sending domains by navigating to Manage Mail > SMTP Accounts > Sending Domains .
Add your DNS. Navigate to Manage Mail > SMTP Accounts and add the DNS records.
Navigate to Manage Mail > SMTP Accounts >Manage SMTP Users and add your SMTP users.
If using SMTP in your website SMTP settings for transactional mail, we recommend having a second SMTP user such as noreply@ yoursite.com which would need to match the FROM email of your website. There is no need to create an email account for the [email protected] though.
BryZar offers free hosting for 14 days for SocialEngine trial clients per the terms and details below. Sign up for your SocialEngine PHP free 14 day trial at BryZar.
Terms:
Trial accounts will not have server or database access.
Trial websites cannot install third party plugins or themes. Once converted to a paid hosting account and SocialEngine license, themes and plugins can be installed.
Only one trial per client is allowed.
Trials are for testing the script and are not meant for performance and customization. Performance may vary depending on the distance between the server and user.
BryZar hosting terms and privacy conditions apply to these trial accounts.
If the 14 day trial expires with SocialEngine without purchase of a license, the website will be deleted.
Trial websites can be converted to paid hosting with BryZar without loss of data if a SocialEngine license is purchased within the trial period. Upon conversion to paid hosting, server and database access will be sent via email. See details below for upgrading to a paid server.
The trial server requires you to have a domain for the trial site.
By creating a trial, you agree and acknowledge that your name, email and domain name will be shared with SocialEngine.
By creating a trial, you agree and acknowledge that should you purchase a paid license and choose to host with us your license will be validated in order to unlock the trial to fully licensed site. This validation is automatically performed when you enter your paid license ID and is checked via API with SocialEngine. During the check, your name, domain and email will be validated against the information at SocialEngine. If the API with SocialEngine is down or unable to be used, we will require you to provide proof of license purchase.
Domain verification is required to prevent abuse of the free service.
Within the trial period your domain/subdomain used for the trial site should always point to the server IP, or have the value of the server IP. We have the right to cancel the server or site if the domain/subdomain has been redirected to another service.
The domain/subdomain should not use proxy to redirect to the server IP. If you are using Cloudflare you should disable the “cloud” icon.
The domain cannot be a free domain. (Example: .tk unless you live in Tokelau). Contact our support if you live in a location that has free TLD.
Trial Setup:
Please follow these steps to set up your SocialEngine trial and free 14 day hosting account. Please note that instructions were sent to your email. If you didn’t see them, please check your spam folder and whitelist bryzar.com in order to receive important hosting details.
Create a server in your account. Select “SocialEngine Hosting” when creating the trial server.
After creating the server you will need to verify your domain under “TOOLS”.
Once the domain has been verified, BryZar will then create the trial server and website then the login details will be sent to your email address.
You’ll need to change your DNS record to point your domain to the server IP address. Once the DNS has propagated you can then see your site.
Note: If you want to use a subdomain for your trial site please submit a support ticket and we can change it to your preferred subdomain.
