Have you seen what version that link is for? there's your clue

Also seems like you have jumped in with 2 feet without any reading of the manual which people here have spent time and effort doing, please read it then explain your questions in more details.

Thanks,

Hi I'm looking all over the forums for information eather the links are not working or the questions have never been asked! Or I have been able to find the solutions I need! Not in the FAQ's or the froum! I even went to your chat system to see if any was on line! Even the Emoticons on this system don even work LOOK

Ask clear questions and you well get answers.

Slagging off contribs.org is not the way to get help.

I don't see how much clear I net to make these questions, Unless you want me to be more indepth about the question?
I think the question is enough without going into more detail, Once I get a responce I will go into more detail if needed!

Well i for one dont fully understand the questions
1 setting up a password system for <ip>etc
What does this mean, its like asking i need help setting up email for <ip>
Do you want to setup password access to server manager for more users, do you want  to set up users generally etc etc
2 if you want help getting a domain name i can sell you one or do you mean something different
3 now this is better, whats wrong with it
4 you can login from the console of your sme server or use putty etc from windows if its setup on the sme

If you click the Ip address and see that it is open to the public to make the changes they want and what I would like to do is put a password system so that nobody can make changes to the admin server manager section.
1) I need Help with this?1) setting up a password system for http://66.126.84.172/server-manager/

[jameswilson]

If i click you link i get a 403 unauthorised page. I thought as part of the install setup it asked you for an admin password. Mine always does

[cidhosting]

I have the domain name CVLCC.com on the server but after 3 days the regester is not pointing it to my server. So I need help to see if it is pointing to the server correctly?
2) help gettong dns for domain name for this ip address 66.126.84.172

[jameswilson]

Your right your domain is not responding. I use 1and1 for my domains so set up a dns entry to use my ip and my domain name as the mx entry. Im unsure how you did yours?

[cidhosting]

Well as you can see it dose not ask for the password I need to know how to fix this

[jameswilson]

im sorry i dont know, mine just worked and i havnt broke mine yet. I think its something to do with .htaccess files in each directory. What have you changed. Did it ever work. If not and if this were me system id probably just reinstall it

[dsemuk]

Well as you can see it dose not ask for the password I need to know how to fix this

http://66.126.84.172/server-manager/

I get:


"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /server-manager/ on this server."

What issue do you have with needing a password?

[jameswilson]

I think he means it should ask for a password and it doesnt. Im not sure mind. I didnt know you could get access to server manager from the external network

This is an issue you need to take up with whoever is supplying your domain name, also have you setup forwarding and DNS record correctly?

This is not an SMEServer issue.

Server-Manager is only accessible from within the local network.

Dave

[jameswilson]

I have no idea what he has done then! lol

I thought that too.

If i were you mate id consider a reinstall. I assume you have 2 netcards in this thing?

[cidhosting]

I fixed the login problem

[jameswilson]

great, what was it

[Tib]

Server-Manager is only accessible from within the local network.

That is correct to a point ... as a default it's only accessible internally ... But ... you can open it up to external as well as thats how I do my test units.

Even if you open it up to external usage it still asks for user/password.

One trap that ppl fall into is when once you access the server-manager page and close the internet browser ... then re-open it ... it won't as you for the user/pass every time ... once it has let you in it seems to let you in again without asking.

This is not an SME problem ... I think it's just the caching or someting like that of the internet browser.

Someone with more experiance within that area could clarify it a bit more.

Tib
