When i get a new user, i setup dns, setup the site on the raq, and then go to ftp and login as admin to upload some files to the new site.

This used to work just fine, until recently.

When i login as admin now, i am not allowed to upload files to the new site, i have to login with the account name and password for that site.

What changed ?

Once you get to 32 sites on your RAQ you can no longer edit or upload files using your admin username. You'll be able to find out more if you do a search im not sure what causes it but thats what has happened on your RAQ.

That is pretty annoying, now i have to wait before the domeiname resolves, and hurry before the new user moves in.

I call that a BUG

Just use the ip u put the domain on to get into the files to change them.

Actually I think it's a problem with Apache, and not something specific to Cobalts.

Create a subdomain on an exiting site that's working (like files.yourdomain.com), then upload files there. Log in via Telnet and mv the files to the folder you want them to be in.

I think that's secure, because when a hackers has your admin password, he actually can not delete or add file at your customers !!

Nahhh, you don't have to wait until the domain propagates and then rush files there. You have a few options, one which was touched up above by Technics. If you don't understand that post, we can expand a bit on it as it is the easiest method (least brain power required).

Alternatively, note that the RaQ is just following a setup script and if you are just loading html files to replace the current ones, this is easily changed.

I'm not certain how difficult it would be to have the server set up scripts in the /web folder even (if that's what you are doing), but I'd think it might be able to be accomplished fairly easily (and I can't help but think someone has wanted this). You might want to scan the archives (yeah, painful at times to do), and see if you can find something, or let us know exactly what you are doing and trying to accomplish.

Maybe we can make your life easier? :) Maybe not, heh :D

i'll go with the mv option, thanks for your help!
