Without passing through secret-URL, your browser will show only blank screen.

------------

In order to see current secret-URL, do in your SSH:

Code: Select all

sudo cat /usr/local/vesta/web/inc/login_url.php
If you already have secret-URL, yow will see a line that looks like this:

Code: Select all

<?php $login_url='SOMETHING';
The string between quotes is your secret URL (in this example it's SOMETHING string).

If you don't have secret-URL - you will get empty or not-existing file - if you want to create it - see next section.

To use this secret-URL, you can point your browser to:

Code: Select all

https://yourhostname:8083/?SOMETHING
----------------------------------------

In order to change or set (create) secret-URL, do:

Code: Select all

sudo mcedit /usr/local/vesta/web/inc/login_url.php
Paste this into the file:

Code: Select all

<?php $login_url='SOMETHING';
Change the string between quotes (in this example it's SOMETHING string).

Save the file.
----------------------------------------

In order to remove secret-URL, do:

Code: Select all

sudo rm /usr/local/vesta/web/inc/login_url.php

What to do if I try to reach admin page without Secret URL and screen shows log-in page instead of expected blank page?

Hi there,

Do you think it could be possible to get one secret url per user account? To make it more personalized for customers.

Thanks.
