============================
you can access the ISPmanager Control Panel at the following URL: https://<server ip address>:1500/ispmgr
Step 6: Once you logged into the ISPmanager panel, you need to configure the server default settings.
Server settings:
Server name - enter the name (host-name) for the server. It is used by some applications.
Time zone - determines the local time of the server. It can be changed to display the time to the user in his locale.
Region - select a region.
Location - select the geographic location of the server.
Update software automatically - you can add a task scheduler to automatically update your software using the OS package manager. The cron job will start at 3:10 your server time. You can modify the time in the cron job edit form. This will update all software programs that were installed with the package manager, both server software and our products.
Grant support access - select the check box to automatically provide ISPsystem's support staff with SSH access to your server. For security reasons we neither ask nor save passwords of our clients. Selecting/clearing this check box enables a client to allow/revoke ISPsystem support staff to access his server (normally, we need to access your servers for troubleshooting). If you select the check box, the system will download the ssh-key and grant root access to your server both via Shell and the control panel. Clearing the check box will delete the key. Our partners can activate keys for their own support staff, so in this case you will see the name of our partner to whom you give access details.
Control panel settings:
Settings of this section are saved for each control panel installed on your server
Password strength - don't use weak passwords for security reasons. Selecting this check box will forbid weak passwords. An attempt to set a weak password will fail and the corresponding error message witll be displayed
Sender Settings:
Send usage information - we are always striving to improve the quality of our products, that's why we need to know which modules you are using most often and which problems face. We do not pass values of the function parameters and errors
Send bug reports - you can submit bug reports manually in the Error log module or activate automatic sending.
I hope this article will help you!!
Done!
