Initial Set-Up

WHM Aflexi Initial Setup Page

  1. Log into WHM as root, navigate to [Main]  -> [Plugins] -> [Aflexi CDN] -> [Initial Setup]
  2. As graph abpove illustrates, fill in your username and authentication key.
  3. Select your CNAME automation on Advanced Configuration:
    • Enable Auto CNAME - The CNAME entry will be automatically created if the domain is already exists on the "Advance DNS Zone" in cPanel.
    • Enable Auto CNAME with Conditional - Beside checking the domain exists on "Advance DNS Zone", this option also checks against if the NS of the domain is same with cPanel server's NS. CNAME will be only created if both conditions fullfilled.
    • Disable Auto CNAME - Disble the CNAME entry automation.
  4. Save Settings.

Usage

  1. WHM Configuration: You may set up your cPanel users, packages and view the reporting data in WHM.
  2. cPanel Configuration: cPanel users able to configure the CDN site within the cPanel itself.
