Welcome to your own Hawkeye site!
This is the first of a set of sample pages that demonstrate the features of the Hawkeye server.
These pages are not designed to look pretty, but to be easy to understand and to modify.
Once you have learned how Hawkeye works, you can modify any of this pages and make them
suit your needs. Always remember: this is not what a Hawkeye site 'looks like', but merely
a demonstration what you can do with Hawkeye.
If you have not already done so, please check the online documentation
for more detailed information about Hawkeye's features and abilities. But first, you may just
want to take a look what's going on here... If you are asked for a password, you can start
with one of the two pre-defined users (be sure to change their passwords soon!):
Default users |
Login |
Password |
Description |
user |
hawkeye |
A sample user. May visit the member's areas, read and write emails and
news messages. Has access to the default chat room. |
admin |
hawkeye |
The system administrator. Can do whatever he or she wants. :-) |
These sample pages come with a pre-defined Hawkeye database which includes a couple of
discussion groups and chat boards. All in all, you have small but working system, which
you can modify as you wish. Otherwise, you might choose to delete the sample pages once
you have had a look, and start from scratch. The pre-defined directory structure looks
like this (everything can be changed by using the administration tools):
- /
- The root directory of the web server is accessible to anyone (only read access, of course).
This means, you do not have to be a registered user to see and download the start pages
of this system.
- /admin
- Here are the system administrator tools which help you to set up and configure
the Hawkeye server to suit your needs. Nearly every aspect of the system can be
customized here. Of course, access to this directory is restricted to members
of the group System Administrators.
- /mail
- Web pages for accessing Hawkeye's mail database, i.e. read and write email.
- /news
- Web pages for accessing Hawkeye's news database. Some sample newsgroups are pre-defined,
you can always add more as you like.
- /chat
- The chat boards. Again, you are free to add more of them using the adminstrator tools.
- /status
- Status Web pages for Hawkeye's internal functions. If you want to customize the replies
Hawkeye generates when executing one of its internal functions, you can modify and/or
add status messages here.
- /images
- This directory holds some small bullets and graphics needed by the pages.
- /files
- These are your file areas, where your users can store and retrieve files. The
directory contains subdirectories for each area, as well as the HTML interface
for searching the file areas. There are a few pre-defined file areas, you can
modify them as you wish.
- /incoming
- This is the place where users should store their uploads. By submitting the
registration form (found in the file area's pages) an upload placed here
can be inserted into any of your file areas.
- /user
- By default, this is where your user's home pages are created, if you allow them
to do so. Please consult the online documentation for details about this feature.
The sample pages contain home pages for both the system administrator as well
as the test user.
Oops, we are sorry if this was quite a lot of information. Just relax, and then take a look what
else can be found here...
