Chapter 9. On-going Administration Using the server manager
The server manager is a simple control panel that allows you to administer your network. Using the server manager, you perform
such tasks as adding or deleting e-mail addresses, setting the system date and time, and creating a starter web page. The server
manager is accessed through a web browser by visiting the URL http://www.yourdomain.xxx/server-manager or more simply
http://www/server-manager. The staff at The Pagan Vegan would access the server manager using the URL
http://www.tofu-dog.com/server-manager. We recommend you bookmark this address so that you can return to it whenever you
wish to access the server manager.
Note: For security reasons, you are only able to access the server manager through a web browser on the local network . Remote
access is only possible using remote access tools such as ssh and PPTP.
When you arrive at the correct URL, you’ll be asked to enter your user name (which is always "admin") and the password you
created during the installation process. Enter that information and click "OK" to be taken to the server manager. It will look like the
screen shown above.
