Help for DCI users

Creating a home page
Put your html files in a subdirectory of your home called "public_html". Your main file should be called "index.html". If you have created your web pages on your PC at home, you can upload them to your account using ftp. If you are using Netscape, you can use the url: "ftp://userid@doncaster.on.ca/home/virtuals/mydomain/userid" to ftp your web pages (use the Upload File option from the netscape File menu). View your home page with the url: http://doncaster.on.ca/~userid.
If you need help creating a web page, pick up a good book or check on the net.

Counter for your home page
WWWCount 2.4 is installed as http://www.istop.com/cgi-bin/Count.cgi and can be used by anyone on the system.

User CGI's
CGI's for regular (non-virtual domain) accounts must end in .cgi and be executable files. Use the command chmod +x filename.cgi to make the file executable. Virtual domain accounts have a separate cgi-bin directory to hold CGI files.
The following is an example of a CGI that would show the users logged on to the system:

#!/bin/sh
echo Content-type: text/plain
echo
echo System users:
/usr/bin/finger

Icons
A list of GIF icons on the server can be found in /icons/.

Checking your mail
All users can check their mail using POP. Common Windows POP clients are Eudora, Outlook, and Netscape Mail. In either client, configure your POP server to be pop.istop.com. You should configure your outgoing (smtp) mail server according to the instructions from your ISP. If you are using the free dialup from iStop.com, you can only use the web-based email.

For users with shell access, you can also telnet to pop.istop.com and read mail using PINE. Type "pine" at the shell prompt and you will start a menu-based mail program. Your key commands are shown at the bottom of your screen. If the screen characters look messed up when you start pine, make sure you are using vt100 or ANSI terminal emmulation, and that your telnet window is at least 24 lines.

Please put .forward file into your home directory on pop.istop.com if you need to forward mail to another mailbox.
Format of .forward file should be like
user@domain.com

Secure pages
For secure purposes you can use "secure" directory on root of your web site, i.e. /home/virtuals/mydomain/userid/secure. Secure URL for you site will be https://secure.istop.com/mydomain/
