General Website Preferences

Default "Home" page
This page will be the first page that pulls up when a visitor arrives at your website. Also known as: start page, index page, or default page. To change the start page, click the Change link, select a different page for a start page and save.

FTP Login Information
Storing your FTP login username/password here will allow the website builder to perform higher-level server/file system functions it may not be able to perform with php's standard privileges. For example, if the website builder encounters certain problems (i.e. not being able to save page content, incomplete version update, etc), it will have more power to be able to fix the problem automatically and move past it instead of just throwing up an error message instructing you to go in and fix it "manually" via an FTP client. Insert your FTP access information in the fields provided and click the Save Changes to FTP Info button. The information is automatically verified within a few minutes.

Change Website Domain Name



This feature allows you to set the isp.conf.php file to the appropriate domain name. The isp.conf.php file controls where you get directed to when you log-in. It also controls:

• When logging in to sohoadmin, it will try to launch the admin from the domain specified here.
• When you place a link in your content to one of your site pages or to a file on your site, it will use this domain for the link.
• All image paths will be called using this domain.
• If you change this domain, it will update your domain in the 3 places above.
