change default page in cpanel - cpanel

What do I need to do to change the default page in cpanel?

Update or create .htaccess file in the public_html folder and make the following content..
DirectoryIndex index.php home.php

If you are referring to the default apache cPanel page then you will need whm access for that
WHM >> Main >> Account Functions >> Web Template Editor
Here you can change the default page, suspended page etc.

Assuming you are referring to the default page when an account is created, this is easily done by creating an index.html or .php page within your /etc/skel folder (assuming you have a VPS or dedicated server).
There is a setting within WHM that allows for it in case you are not CLI savvy.
Hope this helps, sorry for the delayed response, but I'm new and trying to build my rep up!

You can create custom branded login pages for cPAnel and WHM by using the advanced branding features of cPanel. cPanel also supports custom login pages for each reseller's accounts. Linked Below is the documentation.

how to create cpanel default page for hosting domains.
create default html page and upload the files in Skeleton Directory on cpanel root domain.
http://www.motherhost.in/members/knowledgebase/22/how-to-change-default-page-in-cpanel.html
The skeleton directory ( Skeleton Directory: A directory that defines what files and subdirectories new accounts will have by default. When the account is created, the new user’s account will contain an exact copy of the skeleton directory.) exists to let you easily copy the same files into every new account’s public_html and public_ftp directories when the account is created.
Keep in mind that:
When a visitor accesses http://example.com, he will see the contents of example.com 's public_html directory.
When a visitor accesses http://example.com/subdirectory, he will see the contents of public_html/subdirectory.
Contents of the public_ftp directory are available for anonymous FTP users to download.
This WHM feature simply states the location of the skeleton directory (/root/cpanel3-skel).
To set up your skeleton directory:
These files will be accessible to the new user via an FTP client.
Decide what kind of default setup you would like your new users to have.
Place the appropriate subdirectories and HTML files in /root/cpanel3-skel/public_html.
These files will be copied to new accounts’ public_html directories when accounts are created.
Place the appropriate FTP-related files in /root/cpanel3-skel/public_ftp.
These files will be accessible to the new user via an FTP client.

How to remove catalog name from url?

I have PrestaShop 1.7.8.7
My application is located in /public_html/home.
I assigned domain to catalog /home, but to access my website I need to use url domain.com/home/ to access homepage.
How do I make it just domain.com?
You'll need to move your Prestashop installation files from the /public_html/home directory and put it everything in /public_html directory.
Then you'll have to change the "physical_uri" value in ps_shop_url database table from /home/ to /
You can either do this directly from DB or from Backoffice in the "Seo&Url" section.
Make sure to save your settings afterwards so a new .htaccess file will be regenerated in the web folder root with correct paths.

Different virtual hosts for same website but different pages

My web server directory is as follows:
var/www/html/site-part-1
var/www/html/site-part-2
In site-part-1, I have a wordpress installation, and when a person lands on my site by google organic / direct whatever when they type in the domain into addres bar it will take user to site-part-1
Currently site-part-1 is operational with the virtual host configuration directory root directory set to var/www/html/site-part-1
But I have a completely different system in site-part-2, that is built with python which I will be accessing via a link from the wordpress site.
example.com (site-part-1) will have a link, and it will take the user to my website example.com/my/directory and in /my/directory will be the contents of site-part-2
It may have worked sticking site-part-2 in the wordpress site folder but for cleanliness I put it into seperate folder
Does anyone know how I should go about setting up my apache settings so that both directories work together?

my domain name opens 1and1 defaultsite

My domain is in godaddy and web hosting is in 1and1 webserver. I have used prestashop and installed prestashop in webserver in subfolder called prestashop. When i installed prestashop to my site i used mydomain/prestashop/install and completed the installation processes. Now, when i try to open my website www.mydomain.com is opens www.mydomain.com/defaultsite. but if i type www.mydomain.com/prestashop/index.php my website home page opens. I want my site open when i just type www.mydomain.com. Can anyone please help me. My DNS server propagation is completed.
It seems that you have uploaded the Prestashop folder in your root folder. The documentation given below has some language error. It should be upload data of PrestaShop folder at the root folder
From the installation documentation for Prestashop 1.6 and Prestashop 1.7
Your needs:
If you want your shop to be the main website for your domain name (i.e., http://www.example.com), upload PrestaShop at the root folder of the upload space (which may depend on the host).
If you want your shop to be in a sub-folder of your domain name (http://www.example.com/shop), you must first create a folder through FileZilla (right-click and choose "Create directory"), then upload PrestaShop in that folder.
If you want your shop to be in a sub-domain of your domain name (http://shop.example.com), you must first create a sub-domain. This depends on your host: you might be able to do it simply by adding a new folder with your FTP client, or you might have to create the sub-domain through your host's administration panel. Read your host's support documentation first. Once created, browse to the sub-domain's folder, and upload PrestaShop there.

DotNetNuke Secure Module Folder

I have created a module in DNN which has a sub-folder that contains several files which are used by the module, but which I do not want accessible by the public. Being new to DNN I had originally thought to simply add a Web.config and set deny users="*" in the authorization section. It looks to me now though that DNN intercepts all the requests and ignores the Web.config as this setting seems to have no effect.
Users can currently access these files simply by guessing a file name and navigating to (http://mysite.com/DesktopModules/mymodule/restricted_files/guessedfile.pdf). How can I prevent this from happening?
DotNetNuke allows you to have different providers for folders in the file system. If you use those providers (instead of interacting with the file system directly), then you can make sure that DNN has control of the permission to the files in the folder.
Built into DNN are three providers, Standard, Secure, and Database. If you create a folder with the Secure or Database provider, then DNN will make sure that you can't get to the file just by guessing the path (either by appending .resources to the filename, which IIS won't serve, or by putting it in the database). You can then assign permissions to the folder (via the File Manager page in the Admin menu) to indicate who can get to those files (the site administrator will always be able to access the files, unless you're using the Host file system).
However, these folder providers only apply to the Portals directory in the site. It's recommended that you'd store content files there, rather than in DesktopModules.

How to access the "app" folder via browser (localhost) in cakePHP?

I am using Apache server. Usually when I want to start a new website project, I created a new folder inside my server directory and inside that folder I would have 'index.html or index.php'. When I direct my localhost URL to that folder, it would open it and automatically display index.php.
Now I am trying something new with this CakePHP framework. I finished setting it up, and when I direct my localhost URL to folder 'cakephp-cakephp' (folder containing all the cakePHP files), it then shows me this message:
Release Notes for CakePHP 2.0.0-dev.
Your tmp directory is writable.
The FileEngine is being used for caching. To change the config edit APP/config/core.php
Your database configuration file is present.
I think the next step here is to start the development by saving all my files to "app" folder. But the message is not gone even when I deleted the default index.php files from inside the folder 'cakephp-cakephp'. It seems anyway, the index.php files do not actually generate the message.
Does anybody know what file generates that release notes message? I want to delete that file so that I wont get the message (which I believe is triggered by some default file like 'index.php') when I access folder 'cakephp-cakephp', and then it will show me the file directory inside that folder instead, and I can traverse file directory easily using my browser and access my app folder, in which I am planning to store my index.php file, and save all my development files..
You cannot delete the index.php files and you usually don't modify those files unless you need to do some special configuration. Adding the file app/views/pages/home.ctp gets rid of that message and becomes your default home page.
Also, as stated in the comments, you should really read the manual and try the tutorial.
