Cobalt RaQ 4 User Manual 115
Common gateway interface (CGI) allows users to have Web sites run programs
that dynamically generate HTML pages in response to specific user inputs. CGI
scripts can be created on a user’s desktop computer and then transferred to the
RaQ 4 with a file transfer protocol (FTP) application (as explained in Chapter 5).
CGI scripts must have a .pl or .cgi filename extension.
If the “Accept email for domain” function is selected, site users can retrieve email
using the address <username>@domain.com. For example, if the host name of
the site is raq1 and the domain name is abc.com, users can receive mail addressed
to both <username>@raq1.abc.com and <username>@abc.com.
Suspend a virtual site
There are two ways to suspend a virtual site on the RaQ 4: a hard suspension and
a soft suspension.
For more information on hard suspensions, see “Suspend a virtual site” on
page 85.
Soft suspension
The RaQ 4 Administrator can suspend an individual virtual site. All of the site
users are denied access to telnet, FTP and POP3/IMAP/APOP services, as well
as Web access to their files. The site user accounts do not receive email; messages
bounce back to the original sender.
To suspend an individual virtual site:
1. On the Site Management screen, click Site Settings on the left.
2. At the bottom of the table, click the Suspend Site check box so that it is
checked off.
3. Click Save Changes. The RaQ 4 saves the new configuration.
4. If you want to see that the site is suspended, click Server Management on the
left.
In the Virtual Site List table, the entry for the suspended site shows a red X in
the third column; the name and the IP address of the site are grayed-out.
