To modify a WebDev account:
1. Select the "Account management" option.
2. Select an account and click the "Edit" button. The description of the account comes up.
3. The pieces of information that may be modified are:
· The personal information. This information is used to identify the site manager and to get his contact information.
· The "Deactivated account" option is used to temporarily deactivate a WebDev account: this account won't be available for remote installation or update, and won't provide access to the remote WebDev administrator. On the other hand, WebDev sites associated with this account will still be active, and will be available.
· The total number of connections authorized for all the dynamic sites of the site manager. This number applies to all the WebDev sites associated with this account. The site manager can assign them among his dynamic sites as suited using the remote WebDev administrator.
· FTP directories and WebDev applications
1. FTP transfer directory: Directory where the files needed for the remote installation and update of a site will be transferred. This directory must be identical to the FTP directory configured in the FTP server.
2. Sites base directory: Directory where the files from the various WebDev 14 sites for this account are or will be installed. For each site, a subdirectory with the name of the site will be created. Note: The dynamic sites base directory is required in order for the site manager to be able to perform remote installation or update of these sites.
3. Data files base directory: Directory where the data files (Hyper File database) used by the various sites of this site manager are or will be installed. For each site, a subdirectory with the name of the site will be created. Note: The data file base directory is required in order for the site manager to be able to perform remote installation or update of these sites.
· The account’s password
To change a WebDev account’s password, you need to specify the server administrator’s password, then the new password for the account and its confirmation.
The "Change password" button lets you take the modification into account.
· WebDev sites If the site manager hasn’t installed any dynamic site yet on the server station, no site is associated with him. When installing new Dynamic WebDev sites remotely (using FTP), these sites will automatically be assigned to the corresponding account. If the site manager has installed a Dynamic WebDev site during a media-based installation, his site appears in the list of non-assigned sites: the "Add" button is used to associate the account with the site.
