This tutorial assumes you’ve already logged in to cPanel, and are starting on the home screen. Now let’s learn how to create a MySQL database.

1. This tutorial assumes you’ve already logged in to cPanel, and are starting on the home screen.
2. Now let’s learn how to use the Index Manager.
3. Click the “Indexes” icon.
4. The Index Manager enables you to control how directories on your website are displayed.
   If there is no index.html file in a given directory, the contents of that directory will be listed in a browser. This can cause security issues. With Index Manager, you can set your account up to not allow your directory contents to be shown.
5. Let’s setup Index Manager for the client’s directory.
6. There are four settings to choose from.
7. The “Default System Setting” allows the directory contents to be shown. “No Indexing” does not allow directory contents to be shown. “Standard Indexing” prevents browsers from viewing contents of directories that do not contain image files. “Fancy Indexing” displays file names and information, such as file size and the last-modified date.
8. Since we do not want the contents of this directory shown, we’ll choose the “No Indexing” option.
9. That’s it! The index settings have been updated, and visitors can no longer view the contents of the clients directory.

1. This tutorial assumes you’ve already logged in to cPanel, and are starting on the home screen.
2. Now let’s learn how to create custom error pages.
3. Click the “Error Pages” icon.
4. There are several different error pages you can customize. Let’s customize the “404 error page”.
5. This is where you create your custom error page… and you can include one or more tags to further customize the page.
6. When finished, click “Save”.
7. That’s it! The custom 404 error page has been created.
8. You can customize the other error pages as well … but you don’t have to … all accounts come preset with standard error pages.

1. This tutorial assumes you’ve already opened your browser and entered your cPanel login URL.
2. Now log in to cPanel using the username and password provided to you.
3. That’s it! You’re now logged in to cPanel, and can begin to setup email accounts, parked domains, databases, shopping carts, and dozens of other features.
4. To logout of cPanel, click the logout icon in the upper right corner.
5. This is the end of the tutorial. Be sure to check out the other cPanel tutorials to learn all the great features available to you.

1. This tutorial assumes you’ve already logged in to cPanel, and are starting on the home screen.
2. Now let’s create a new email account.

4. Enter the email address you want to create, and assign it a password.
5. Set a mailbox quota for the account if you wish.
6. Then click “Create Account”.
7. That’s it! The new email account has been successfully created.
8. From the Email Accounts screen you can access webmail for the account, change its password, change the quota, or even delete the account.

Overview

On March 2, Exim announced via its mailing list that it had discovered a vulnerability in all versions of its mail transport agent. Exim is the default MTA on cPanel servers. The latest version patches the vulnerability, and the latest cPanel update resolves the issue.

Preflight Check

• These instructions are intended specifically for solving the error: “sec_error_ocsp_try_server_later”.
• This error can be displayed anytime a user visits a secure website using the https:// protocol in Firefox or Internet Explorer. It does not indicate a problem with the site itself, but occurs due to a change in the method these specific browsers used to check for revoked SSL certificates.
• We’ll be logging into WebHost Manager as root to resolve the error.

In cPanel/WHM versions up to 11.52, users were able to choose between two mail servers: Courier and Dovecot. Courier was selected by default, and most cPanel users never had reason to switch. However, beginning with cPanel/WHM version 54 (the preceding “11” was dropped), Courier has been deprecated. cPanel will no longer support Courier in future releases, and will automatically convert the mail server to Dovecot if it has not been done manually within 30 days of updating to cPanel/WHM version 54.

Several cases have been reported where a broken symlink results in a permissions error when viewing or attempting to modify user cron jobs. Restoring the link resolves the issue.
