OSPanel Server administration Panel

After initial setup using the server's monitor or serial console, all server administration is done through a secure browser connection through either an intranet or Internet connection. Server-wide service offerings are configured through a Web administration facility. This gives the administrator the ability to:

Administer virtual sites
Configure email, FTP, Telnet, SNMP, ASP and DNS services
Install and upgrade software
Configure network parameters
Configure uninterruptible power supply (UPS) operation
Configure wake options
Monitor system services and resources

The administration Web pages allow the addition, configuration and monitoring of virtual sites, either based on name or IP address. Configuration options for virtual sites include:

Adding users
Creating mailing lists
Configuring CGI, SSI, PHP, Telnet, Frontpage, FTP

Assigning bandwidth limits Additionally, the server administration interface gives status on sites, including traffic reports and disk usage information. Individual users on a virtual site have access to the Web administration facility where they can access the following:
