I need a little help. I have read the post below, but as I'm a bit of a Linux noob I need a more detailed answer: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=213 The post above outlines how to change the default index.html file that is created automatically when a webpage is created. From what I can make out you need to add the line exec("cp -R /var/www/template/* $web_path/web"); to /root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/config.lib.php It needs inserting in either the "web_insert()" function or the "make_docroot()" function Is this correct? Which function should it be put in? What is the ideal method to edit the config.lib.php file? I am a bit of a Linux beginner and I have been using vi to edit files. I find this a bit difficult though, as you don't see any line numbers. Any Suggestions? What I am trying to acheive: I want to replace the default error pages using XHTML / CSS and strip out all the old font tags and deprecated tags Remove tables used for page layout and remove <font> and <center> tags etc <FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE="2" FACE="Helvetica, Arial"> <center> All this can either be replaced with a style element in the head of the html file or a linked CSS stylesheet. I would also like to create a web page with images and a linked stylesheet(s), that would get copied to a new users webspace when it is created. Another stupid question? If i had a default template in /var/www/template/ how would I get the files off the server to edit? This is probably a very simple / stupid question, but If I don't ask these things then I'll never learn. I can access the files using ssh with putty, but ideally I need to get them off of the server and onto my home PC so I can edit them and then upload them again. Any Linux Pro like to enlighten me about how they do it? Thank You for your help.
The admin and resellers can define custom standard index and error pages directly in the ISPConfig interface. No need to modify and files/functions. You can use an FTP client such as FileZille/gFTP/SmartFTP/WS_FTP, etc., or an SCP client such as WinSCP (if you're on Windows).
Hello Falko, Thanks for your reply. I use Filezilla as my FTP client and I can FTP into user sites created with ISP Config. I would like to create a default page with images and linked CSS stylesheet, that would be copied into a users account as their holding page, when a site is created. This would allow me to brand the pages how I like. How can I FTP into directory /var/www/template/ ? I will try WinSCP on my Win 2k machine. I really need to setup a local debian etch server to try things out on. Best REgards Dave
Thanks Falko, Managed to login to server using WinSCP. I would be grateful if you could explain where I need to add the command exec("cp -R /var/www/template/* $web_path/web"); in the file below. /root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/config.lib.php
