First Setup After Installation

1. Network: on the server console, use the setup menu to set the IP address, netmask, gateway, DNS and time zone. Correct DNS and time are very important.
2. Internet: make sure the server can reach the internet; the license is activated online.
3. Log in to the panel at http://your-server-ip/ with admin / admin, and change the password immediately.
4. Dashboard: check that the network status is Internet Reachable and the license is active.
5. License: register your license (see Registering Your License in the Tutorial chapter).
6. Settings: set the currency, time zone and company details in Settings → general settings and sites.
7. Backups: set up a backup disk and daily backups in Settings → backup.
8. Continue with the Quick Start Guide.

If the time shown in the panel is wrong after installation or a restore, reboot the server.
