|
The WWWBoard website script is now ready for use.
2. Customizing
The default username and password combo for the admin part of the software are :
UserName: WebAdmin
Password : WebBoard
Be sure to modify these passwords. Use the admin script
at /cgi-domain/wwwadmin.pl to do so.
After installation, you will be shown the correct location for your hosting
account instead of domain.
If you decide to modify the /wwwboard/index.html page, ensure you do
not change permisions on this file. It requires 777 for the script to function.
3. Blog Software

solutions. More features and easy to customize.
