Q1: I made a change in my SiteWalk but I don’t want to publish it - I want to go back.

A:  As you're making changes to your web pages, if at any point you save a change that you need to undo, you can do this by using the 'Archive and Rollback’ function in the action box.

You'll be able to see all your previously saved versions of your web page for the last 90 days and select any one of those to revert to.

Q2: I have clicked ‘publish’ but when I check, the page isn’t the one I just created. What am I missing?

A: It could be that you haven’t included the ‘release’ date.  The Release Date and Expiry Date allow you to release a web page in the future and expire the content of the web page when it is no longer valid.

It’s a set-and-forget approach that enables you to add your web pages in advance and have them automatically appear and then disappear from your website.

Also, make sure you have checked ‘enabled’ or the page won’t show.

Back to top

Q3: Can I turn a page off for a limited time or do I have to delete it?

A: You can uncheck 'Enabled' to make the page temporarily inaccessible; this is useful for temporarily disabling a page and removing from your website. Simply un-tick the ‘enabled’ box and select ‘save’.

Back to top

Q4: Help! I’ve forgotten how to login to Sitewalk.

A: to login to Sitewalk and make changes to the text and images or create a new campaign, you will need to type your unique address into the browser. It will look something like:

http://www.yourdomain.com.au/admin/

username: (you will find this in the training document)
password: (if you can’t find them you can email or call us and we will give them to you)
 

To edit the page – move the mouse to the area you wish to update and click on the area to edit
Once you finish – click on [save and publish]

Back to top

Q5: How do I change images?

A: To edit a picture within your webpage move your mouse pointer over the image you wish to change and 'Click to Edit Region'.  You'll bring up the Sitewalk editor with the image showing inside.

Remove the original image from the editor by selecting it and deleting it (pressing 'delete' or 'backspace'). After you've deleted the original image you can use the image manager to upload and insert your own image.
 

1. Click on 'Upload File(s)'
2. In the "Choose Folder to upload to" field make sure you have /images/ selected
3. Click on the 'Select' button to bring up a file chooser that will let you choose an image from your hard drive to upload
4. Click Upload

Now you can insert the image onto your webpage:
 

1. Click on the images folder
2. Select the image that you have just uploaded
3. On the right hand side click the Insert button to put the new image on the website

This will take you back to the SiteWalk Manager - just click Save and Publish again to publish this new image to your live site.

Hosting and Domain services

Q1: My web page is not accessible. 

A:  To find out where the problem is you can start with some simple checks:

• Can you access your webmail?
  • if YES, then the fault is not with your hosting provider. You can re-boot your computer, call your ISP or come back to it later. Usually, given some time this resolves itself.
  • If NO, then try accessing another website. If you can’t access anything online, check your internet connection.
  • If you CAN access other sites, but not your own, please call us on (02) 4284 3600 and we will trace the issue for you.

If you are not sure, please simply call us on (02)4284 3600 and we can help you find a solution.

Q2: I have a lot of spam coming through on one of my email addresses

A: This email address has been found by and is being targeted and attacked by spammers.  If this is happening on only one or two email accounts, there are a few options:

• Use the email filter or spam filter through your Control Panel (instructions can be found in the login doc CleverLink provided when we set up your hosting)
• If the spam is attacking the enquiry form on your website:
  • Take the enquiry form down for a day or two to break the cycle
  • CleverLink can incorporate a ‘verification code’ to make it harder for spammers to access your forms

Everyone with an email address will receive spam and each time someone discovers a new way to block spam, the spammers soon find a way around it. At this point, the best anyone can do is to adjust their filters periodically. This is done at server level and also at the individual level. 
 

Be aware that spam filters act like funnels to squeeze out spam while letting legitimate emails through. If you are getting 5+ spam per day (20+ is fairly normal), this is a good indication that you are also getting all your legitimate emails.

Q6: How do I set up an email address?

You can set up as many POP (Post Office Protocol) e-mail accounts as you require, (if you need more than we have set you please let us know).

* Note that both your email (through Outlook Express) and your webmail will have the same login details

If this box doesn’t appear, you can apply the new information manually, as follows:

Open up your Outlook Express, or other email application. Under ‘Tools’, you should find ‘Account
Settings’ or similar.

Q13: What is E-mail Filtering?

You can block an e-mail using spam filters. There are many definitions of spam, but one particularly useful one is the following:

Spam is the electronic version of junk mail, and has been around since the Internet was created. E-mail filters are a way of filtering your e-mail to remove unwanted mail based on a variety of criteria.

You can block any sort of e-mail, not just mail of a commercial nature. Blocked mail can be deleted automatically or sent to another e-mail address or script. These filters are quite flexible - some examples are provided after the instruction on how to add a spam filter below. All filters are cumulative.

Useful spam links:

• Six simple things you can do to prevent spam – www.spamrecycle.com/antispamthings.htm
• Alternate definition of spam – www.spam.abuse.net/overview/whatisspam.shtml
• Usenet definition of spam – www.cybernothing.org/faqs/net-abuse-faqs.html#2.1

To add an e-mail filter:

1. Click on the E-mail Filtering link in the Mail area.
2. Click on the Add Filter link.
3. Click on the required header field in the first drop-down list. These are the various fields in any e-mail message.
4. Click on the required filter action in the second drop-down list. This action will act on the text entered in the third field.
   • equals - match the text exactly (whole words only). "Credit" will block "Credit".
   • matches regex - matches the text based on regular expression (regex) rules. Regular expressions are a powerful but complex area. You do not need to use regular expression filters for most circumstances. Refer to these two good introductory tutorials - Using Regular Expressions and Learning to Use Regular Expressions - for more information.
   • contains - match the specified text in any circumstance. "porn" will block "porn" and "pornography".
   • begins with - match the specified text when it is the beginning of a word. "porn" will block "porn" and "pornography" but not "teenporn".
5. Enter the filter text in the third field. This text is case sensitive.
6. Enter the destination for the filtered e-mail in the Destination field. There are three separate types of destination:
   • Destroy the e-mail - Enter Discard in the field.
   • Redirect to another address - Enter the e-mail address to which to redirect the e-mail.
   • Redirect to a script - Enter the full script path on the machine that hosts your web site.
7. Click on the Activate button.

Example:

• To redirect all e-mail from "john@paradise.net", enter: From, equals, john@paradise.net, david@corse.org.nz

Q3: What is the function of the ‘FTP Manager’?

The FTP area deals with all the tools relating to setting up and managing FTP accounts, as well as managing FTP sessions. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a method by which you can transfer files between computers, usually using the Internet.

There is a huge amount of information stored on FTP servers around the world that can only be accessed by using FTP. When using FTP you use an application called a "client" to connect to a machine called a "server".

There are a large number of FTP software packages available. Some of them are built in to your browser (such as Internet Explorer), others are dedicated applications (such as such as CuteFTP or WS_FTP), while still others are built into web applications (File Manager in CPanel is one example).

Generally speaking, if you are going to spend a lot of time using FTP or have a large amount of files to upload/download, a dedicated FTP client is the way to go.

CPanel allows you to set up FTP accounts so that certain external users can access a restricted part of your system. You can also set up an anonymous FTP account so that anyone can access a restricted part of your system. You can also manage these FTP sessions, cutting them off if they go on for too long.

Warning: FTP, by its very nature, allows external users to modify your web site (albeit a restricted area of your web site). External users can upload, download, and delete files. Keep this in mind when you set up an FTP account.

Topics:

Q4: How do I add  an FTP account?

An FTP account creates a folder on the public_html level of your site that allows external users that know the password to upload and download files from that location. Change your password if you think that your account is being used incorrectly.

Note: Please be aware that all users with the correct password will be able to add, edit, and delete files from the directory that you specify for the FTP account, and any directories within the stated directory.

To add an FTP account:

1. Click on the Ftp Manager button on the home page.
2. Click on the FTP Accounts link.
3. Click on the Add Account link.
4. Enter the name of the FTP account in the Login field and the password for the account in the Password field.
5. Enter the path to the directory to which this FTP account has access.

Warning: If you enter the top-level of the web site by entering a slash (/), all users with the correct password will be able to add, edit, and delete all files on your site. It is advisable to limit an FTP account to a smaller section of your web site.

6. Click on the Create button.

Q5: How do I access ‘File Manager’?

The File Manager allows you to manage your site through HTML, rather than an FTP tool or other third-party application. You can upload, create or delete files, organize files in folders, and change file permissions. While not as sophisticated as most FTP tools, File Manager is free and gives you all the basic functionality necessary to manage your site.

Note: All of the other topics in this section assume that you are already in File Manager.

To open and navigate in File Manager:

1. Click on the File Manager button on the home page.
2. Navigate by using the following:
   • Open a folder by clicking on the folder icon.
   • Go up a level by clicking on the Up one level link.
   • Use the path links at the top of the window to move up and down the path.
   • Select a folder, so as to view or modify its properties, by clicking on the folder name link.

Q6: How check my disk space usage?

The Disk Usage Viewer enables you to see exactly how much disk space is being taken up by various parts of your web site. Several different viewing options are available:

• Show Parent Directories - Displays the parent directories as individual items.
• Show More Directory Depth - Displays directories one level deeper as individual items.
• Show Less Directory Depth - Displays directories one level higher as individual items.
• Show Top Level - Displays the top level of the web site.
• Clear File Usage Cache - Deletes all file usage information from the cache and recalculates all disk usage information.
• Show Small Files - Displays very small files.
• Show File Size as bytes/Megabytes - Displays file sizes as bytes or megabytes. There are 1024 bytes to one megabyte.

Most of the above viewing options have a reverse option. For example, if Show Small Files is chosen, Hide Small Files is now displayed.

To use the Disk Usage Viewer:

1. Click on the Disk Usage button on the home page.
2. A list of items that take up space on your web site is now displayed, from largest to smallest. Click on the required buttons to view the use of space on your web site.
    

Q7: How do I backup my website?

The Backup area allows you to download the daily, weekly, or monthly backup file of your entire web site, or a particular MySQL, alias, or filter backup file. If your computer crashes, or your personal backups are destroyed, these files allow you to recover your site in a convenient manner (you could also use FTP to download each file, but it would take much longer as the files are not compressed).

How often a backup is created is decided by your web host. Contact your hosting administrator for more details.

Important: You should keep your own backup copy of your web site as well. Do not rely solely on the backup provided by your web host. Having multiple backups in different locations provides security against permanently losing information.

Note: A complete web site backup file includes everything - from web pages to images to scripts to access logs. A large site will have a large backup file, and will take some time to download.

To download a backup file:

1. Click on the Backup button on the home page.
2. Click on the Daily, Weekly, or Monthly backup file to download the entire system backup for the indicated time, or click on the link underneath the required area to download an SQL, Alias, or Filter backup file. Refer to Generating a backup if you need to generate a backup first before downloading it.

Note: To download any previous stored backups, click on the Generate/Download a Full Backup link, and click on any backup that is listed.

1. Save the file to disk.

Note for Windows users: This file is in .tar.gz format (a GZIP archive file that contains a TAR archive file). This is a common archive format used on Unix machines, in the same way that .zip is a common Windows archive format. Most compression utilities should be able to uncompress a .tar.gz file.

2. Click on the Browse... button next to the relevant area that you want to restore.

Note: You may need to wait for a few minutes to upload and restore a large web site file.

Q9: How do I ‘password protect’ my directories?

You can protect directories within your site from browsers by using a password to protect them. This allows you to restrict material to only authorized users or store sensitive material online. This has the same appearance and effect as the password protection on CPanel.

To password protect a directory:

1. Click on the Password protect directories button on the home page.
2. Navigate to the directory that you want to protect. Select a folder by clicking on the folder name link, or open a folder by clicking on the folder icon.
3. Click on the tick box next to the icon.
4. Enter the name that you want to appear in the Protected Resource Name field. This is optional and purely for the user's benefit.
5. Click on the Save button. Generally, you now need to add at least one authorized user to enable access to the directory. Refer to Adding an authorized user for more information.
