Super User Guide

This is a basic how-to. Although all of these things are very simple to do, most of them are anything but intuitive. I have been trying to figure out how the ftp accounts work so you would be able to really dig around and fuck things up on your own. I'm going to try to explain it so that you can do exactly that, but I expect that you will need further clarification. That being said, here is how these things are done.

A. Log into the server using FTP. There are several ways to do this, but the easiest way that actually lets you get into the files is this:

In windows XP: 1. Open "My Documents" 2. Type "ftp://ftp.esoterum.com" in the address box, when you press enter you will get a "windows cannot access this folder" error 3. Click OK, then pull down the file menu and choose "Login As" 4. Use the username "flan@esoterum.com" and the password "flan" 5. When you press enter you should be looking at the contents of www.esoterum.com/flan with "ftp://ftp.esoterum.com/" in the address bar. 6. You can now view and transfer files from the website onto your machine and vice-versa. Unfortunatly the only way to actually change files using this method (as far as I know) is to copy them to your machine, make changes, delete the old one on the server, and copy the new file back to the server (all of this copying can be done by dragging and dropping files to your desktop or wherever)

B. All the rest of this stuff:

> 1. enable subpages on flan.esoterum.com

This is done by adding this line to the file /mw/LocalSettings.php

"$wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_MAIN] = true;"

> 2. put a logo in the upper left hand corner

Replace the file "favicon.ico" with your icon. You can turn images into .ico files here: http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/

> 3. increase the size of file that can be uploaded > 4. add a logo similar to Spare Tire's head on the latest version of > Internet Explorer > 5. add/delete stuff to the navigation bar on the left hand side > 6. make my project good? (this one is rhetorical)
