DO NOT
DELETE OR RENAME any of these directories. These directories
are automatically setup by the system and required in order
for your account to function. Deleting or renaming any of
them will cause fatal errors that can only be repaired by
deleting and resetting your account.
Of these
directories, the www directory is the only one you will use.
This is the directory where you will upload your web pages
and create other subdirectories that will pertain to your
web site. Your pages WILL NOT be viewable on a web browser
unless they are uploaded to this directory.
When you
initially enter your www directory, you will see a directory/file
listing similar to the following:
cgi-bin: Where all your cgi-scripts are located (Sometime referred
to as Personal cgi-bin)
stats: Location of your statistical program
index.html: The basic under construction page. This
is the default page for your site. When you create a new design
your first page will need to be named index.html.
Again,
DO NOT DELETE OR RENAME any of the directories within this
folder. These are directories created by the system and are
required in order for your account to function.
As you
add options from your Control Panel, such as the Miva, Search
Engine, Mail Lists, or any other options you utilize from
the Control Panel, the system will automatically create other
directories within this area. Any files created by these programs
are there for a particular purpose and should not be deleted.
Below
is a description of the different directories you may or may
not see when you log into your account at any given time depending
on what options you have utilized from your Control Panel.
These are only descriptions and these directories should not
be altered in any way unless we have instructed you to above.
