LXAdmin Getting Started
Much of what you need to know can be found clicking the 'Help' tab at the top right in your lxAdmin control panel. A direct link is here: http://doc.lxlabs.com/lxadmin/admin/
If you got 'hostinabox', the login to lxadmin will be at http://your-ip:7778 or https://your-ip:7777. The initial login name and pass are both 'admin'. If you installed lxadmin from your VPS control panel, you can either access it with the above urls or you can click on 'Lxadmin management' tab in the VPS control panel. The First thing you should do (after you change the password) is to update lxadmin by clicking the 'update home' icon:
Next, you should create your main client. Its not a good idea to start creating domains under the admin account. Create a new client and name it whatever you want. This is the client where you will create your main domain hosting.. the domain name that you will use also for your dns nameservers. Say your main domain name is 'cool-domain.org', later in this tutorial you will be setting up 2 nameservers, ns1.cool-domain.org and ns2.cool-domain.org and assigning them 2 ip addresses that you own with your VPS.
Setting Up DNS
The next thing to do is to set up your dns templates. At first, you may notice that there is an ip address set to be used when you go to create your first dns template : 66.98.210.181. THIS IS NOT A CORRECT IP! Make sure you create a new template and pick one of your own IP addresses. If it will not allow you to pick another ip address, you did not update lxadmin...go update it. The most common error our clients make is that they use this wrong ip instead of the ips that belong to their VPS.
Now you are ready to create your first domain! Go to the main client you created earlier, and choose the 'Domains' icon. Then click the 'Add Domain' Tab. You will see there is a spot to pick the dns template...pick one of the ones you created that you want to use for the domain. You next will set up the DNS for this new domain. Pick the 'Manage Dns' icon:
If this is your main domain where you will define your nameservers, (remember ns1.cool-domain.org, ns2.cool-domain.org ?) you will add 2 'a' records here. Say the first 2 ips you own are 207.10.240.20 and 207.10.240.21. you will create an 'a' record for 'ns1' to point to the first ip and an 'a' record for 'ns2' to point to the second ip. Now your next move is to go to your domain registrar (where you bought the domain, for example, godaddy, enom, etc...) and create the custom nameservers there and add what ip addresses they are assigned in your lxadmin. After 24-48 hours (the time for the new nameservers you created at your registrar to propagate all world root-servers) Your nameservers will now work and can be used for all new domains created on your lxadmin hosting management! Notice Below how the 2 ns1,ns2 entries are added as 'a' records:
Mabuhay Hosting remains to be a reliable company. We stayed with them after trying a couple other companies when we experienced their kind of service. They are adept in their business and are very responsive to their clients. Their service is worthy of being recommended.
