How To

To install WebAdmin:

   Note: Keep track of the folder where you download the installer.
2. Navigate to the downloaded installer and open it to display the installation wizard.
3. Read the dialog and use the Next command button.
4. Enter the name of the Program Manager Group to use for the WebAdmin icons, or keep the default and use the Next command button.
5. Select the folder for storing the WebAdmin software, or keep the default and use the Next command button.
6. Enter the web port number for the administration program. The default is 1000. For port 1000, you would access the admin program by entering in your web browser, for example: http://urlofwebadmin:1000/. Then use the Next command button. When the installation is complete, the installer displays the Finish dialog.
7. Activate any check boxes you want for WebAdmin then use the Finish command button to exit from the installer.

    For example: http://webmail.yourdomain.net:1000/. You can also use the IP address, such as http://192.168.1.104:1000/.
