Configure Outlook Express
Sending your mail from the server at thegallaria to your own Outlook Express inbox.
We are all besieged with a load of spam every day.
If you want to be in control of the spam and not have to sift through everything every daAfter all all time is money. Look into Mail Washer Pro ... there is a free version ... but the registered version has quite a few extras that allow you complete control over what gets to you and what does not. I have been running the registered version now for over a year and love it. All mail that comes in is colored (a feature you can set up) as to what it is ... friend ... blacklist ... known spam etc. It makes it very easy to click a mouse and dump all unwanted mail ... only leaving the stuff you really want to keep. The Pro version costs $29.95 and is worth every penny.
Open CPanel in your browser window ... then go to Add/Remove E-Mail under Manage Email Tool.
Before you start this process ALL Outlook Express windows need to be CLOSED.
There you will have a list of all the mail addresses you have created on your domain.
At the end of every address you have will be a link (Outlook Express Auto Config)
Click this link and READ the instructions as you go.
When you are finished all mail from your domain on thegallaria server should come to your Outlook Express Client Software.
Installing a Bulletin Board
Open CPanel in your browser.
Select Preinstalled Scripts
Fantastico
Discussion Boards
Then choose one of those listed.
You will be asked a number of questions the first being the Installation location:
Of course the Install on domain ... will be your domain: yourdomain.com
Install directory will be the name of the directory you want the script to be installed into ... that directory has to be a root directory for example yourdomain.com/board/ not yourdomain.com/subject/board/
The next area to be filled in is for your you database (which fantastico will create for you after you answer the questions)
Admin access data:
Choose a user name so you can administer your board.
You need a password.
Last add all of the information under Base Configuration.
Before you click the install phpBB2 I suggest you make a permenant copy of the information you entered. I find it is easiest to simply highlight and copy then paste the information into an email to myself. That way it is always at hand if I forget.
Click the Install phpBB2 button.
You will next get a window with more information you need to access your board. Copy that into your email or record it somewhere.
Then click finish installation.
Another window will appear with more important access information. At this point you can select to email a copy of all information to you (I suggest you do this so you have a copy and permenent record of the install)
