Customizing the home page of sites

You can customize the home page that Ensim Pro automatically creates for a site. You can also support customized home pages for your resellers’ sites.

- Note: If you do not perform the steps mentioned below, Ensim Pro uses an automatically-generated Web page as the home page for that site.

To support customized home pages:

1. Log in to the Ensim Pro server as administrator.

2. Create a folder to store the customized home page files. For example, C:\ensim.

3. Under the folder created in step 2, create a folder named ISP. In the example, C:\ensim\ISP.

The home page files that you place in the ISP folder serve as the home page for your sites.

4. For a reseller, create a folder with the same name as that of the reseller's domain name in the folder created in step 2. Use the reseller’s domain name as displayed in the Ensim Pro control panel. In the above example, create a folder C:\ensim\example.net for a reseller with the domain name example.net. The home page files that you place in this folder serve as the home page to all sites created by this reseller.

Repeat this step for each reseller.

- Note: In case a folder does not exist for a reseller, Ensim Pro uses the home page located under the ISP folder as the home page for the reseller’s sites. If the ISP folder does not exist, Ensim Pro uses an automatically-generated Web page as the home page for the reseller’s sites.

5. Open the Registry Editor by clicking Start > Run, typing regedit, and clicking OK.

6. In the Registry Editor window, expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Ensim > WEBppliance.

7. Right-click WEBppliance, click New, then click String Value.

8. Rename the string value to DefaultPagePath.

9. Double-click DefaultPagePath. The Edit String window opens.

10. In the Value data text box, enter the path where the customized home page file is located (as created in step 2). In the example above, type C:\ensim in the Value data text box.

This completes the steps to customize the home page for a site.
