  2. On the page that appears select the default skin from the Choose Design box.
  3. Click the Modify button.
  4. On the page that appears, change the design settings
  5. Change control panel color and image set in the Color Scheme Setting section
  6. Create your own custom color scheme by changing default color schemes.

    -Click Reset to return to default color scheme.
  • Click Save to save your custom color scheme settings. It will appear in the Color Scheme drop-down box.

changing Default System Language


hi,
i have a web hosting account with H-Sphere control panel but now i want to change Default System Language to French language. plz. help

yes, u can change Default System Language.

Default language is the language of newly created accounts, including navigation menu, form and control labels, context help, and system messages. However, every user can override the default language with one of those available in the user control panel.

Currently H-Sphere comes with the following languages: English, Russian, Italian, French, Spanish, Dutch, German and Portuguese. You can also add new languages by installing language packages,compiling new language bundles, or bulding new language packages.

Default language affects the default regional settings. You can set custom currency or currency pattern, but mind that they will be lost once you change to another language.

To change the default language:

1. Go to Default Language in the Look and Feel menu.
2. Select language from the drop-down box.
3. Click Submit to save changes.
4. Proceed to Regional Settings configuration.

Communication between different servers


Communication of servers in H-shpere clusters is done through Control Panel. There is no way for servers like web and DNS exchange commands directly.

Control Panel uses Shell or Perl scripts via SSH protocol (port 22) as the cpanel user, to communicate with Linux/Unix servers.
Communication between the CP and Windows servers is performed through the SOAP protocol (port 10125), which allows for cross-platform exchange of data in XML documents via HTTP.

Removing name server from zone files


Is there any way to remove a NS record from zone files in hsphere?

I’m doing some Spring cleaning and want to remove one of the name servers from my cluster.

If its actually being used you can’t just remove it. What do you see as far as

Master DNS Servers – XXX
Slave DNS Servers – XXX

Any numbers here other than zero ??

DNS Creator is a utility that re-creates DNS data to new DNS servers. Use this utility to republish DNS data to a different box or add an extra DNS server.

To create DNS:

1. Log into your control panel server as the cpanel user.

2. Run DNS Creator

yes, u can edit it.

Once an Instant Alias is created, the system adds all necessary A DNS records to this DNS zone.To view these DNS records, cilck the Edit button near the necessary Instant Aliases

The upper part of the table lists the existing DNS A records in the selected DNS zone. To delete DNS records, click the Trash icon.

The lower part of the table appears only when the DNS zone does not contain A records for some logical servers. It lists these logical servers with their IP’s.

To add a logical server to the DNS zone, click the Add button. You can add all these servers to the DNS zone by clicking the Add records to all listed logical servers link at the bottom of the table.

To delete Instant Alias Template, click the Trash icon next to the corresponding alias.
