This guide explains how to modify the current user with the highest status within your Organization, a status similar to that of an administrator that includes additional legal responsibility.

 

Prerequisites

 

Modify the legal responsible of an Organization

Warning, it is impossible to remove a legal responsible if there is no other legal responsible.

You can therefore:

  1. Add a new user with the role legal responsible in the Organization.
  2. Assign the role legal responsible to an existing user in the Organization.
  3. Remove an existing legal responsible (if there is already another one — implies naming a new legal responsible in advance if necessary).

This guide explains how to enable the MultiViews option via a .htaccess file on sites hosted by Infomaniak.

 

Preamble

  • In some cases, the MultiViews option must be enabled to manage redirection and URL rewriting issues.
  • This option allows the server to guess which file the user is looking for. Example:
    • If the configuration folder and the configuration.php file are located at the root of your site and you try to access the address domain.xyz/configuration, the MultiViews option must be enabled for the server to guess that you want to access the configuration.php file.
  • The MultiViews option can sometimes conflict with more complex URL rewriting rules defined by mod_rewrite (used by many CMS).

 

Enable the MultiViews option

To do this:

  1. Open or create the .htaccess file located at the root of the affected site.
  2. Add the following directive:

    Options +MultiViews
  3. Save the changes.

This guide helps you download all the data related to your website hosted by Infomaniak.

 

Preamble

  • Automatic backups are made daily on Infomaniak installations.
  • However, you can download a clean and personal version of your website to keep it safe on your local installation, USB key, .zip archive on kDrive, etc.
  • To download a site created with WordPress, refer to this other guide specific to 2 extensions allowing local backup of information.
  • With the exception of Site Creator, the data of a website hosted by Infomaniak are accessible and visible on the server via an FTP connection (which means that to make a backup of the data, it is sufficient to download the content of the parent folder on the server).
  • All you have to do is add a backup of the site's database (which contains information that is not written in the files accessible by FTP).

 

Site location

When you arrive in the folder tree on the server, it will not always be easy to know where to go to download the information related to the site that interests you.

Start by noting the exact location of the site you want to download, by going to manager.infomaniak.com on the site's dashboard within your Web Hosting:

The indication highlighted above is the location of the example site. Check yours!

 

Connecting to the server

To get to the server, you need to use an FTP software/client or the Web FTP on the Manager which can be suitable in most cases:

 

Downloading the site

When you arrive on the Web FTP, you need to go to the location noted in the first chapter above, and click on the download icon to the right of the folder corresponding to your site:

 

The download starts and you get a .zip archive with all the files making up your website (with the exception of files starting with a "." like .htaccess).

 

Downloading the database

In most cases, your site uses a database to function. It must therefore also be downloaded.

To do this:

  1. Click on Databases in the left side menu.
  2. Click on the action menu ⋮ located to the right of the name of your database (if you are not sure which one to take, repeat the operation for each of them).
  3. Click on Download:

You will need to confirm the download (or export) of the most recent correct file in the next step to obtain a .sql.gz file that corresponds to all the tables in your database, which you should keep safe.

The download link is sent by email.

This guide explains how to switch, in an email software/client, from a POP configuration to an IMAP configuration for the same email account. Indeed, for many reasons, it is strongly recommended to use the IMAP protocol instead of POP.

 

Switching from the POP protocol to the IMAP protocol…

If your email address is already configured with the POP protocol in your email software/client (Mozilla Thunderbird, Microsoft Outlook, etc.), it is impossible to switch to the IMAP protocol directly on the account. Indeed, the most common email software/clients do not allow modifying an existing POP3 account and setting it to IMAP instead.

The solution is to add the same email account but with the IMAP protocol in your email software/client and then to move your messages and folders from the POP account (from your computer) to the IMAP account (on the mail server).

⚠️ Warning: a POP3 account on your email software/client usually means that Infomaniak does not have any backups. Therefore, it is important to back up your messages on your side before any critical operation.

 

… with Microsoft Outlook

Some versions of Outlook, such as 2016, prevent the simple addition of a second account with the same name (identical email address).

sign

To work around this, you need to add the account from the Profiles:

sign

And from there, you will be able to add the additional account, in IMAP:

sign
 

  1. Configure the new email account with the IMAP protocol (the same account as the one configured in POP but this time in IMAP):
    sign
  2. Move one folder at a time by dragging them to the inbox of the new account configured in IMAP:
    sign
  3. Wait during the transfer of the items (this can take a long time depending on the volume to be transferred to the server); the activity is indicated at the bottom of the window:

    sign

If your POP account kept a copy of the messages on the server (disrecommended option present in the advanced settings of your Outlook), you may have duplicate messages.

 

… with Apple Mail

Deleting the email account configured in POP deletes the messages it contains. It is therefore recommended to deactivate the POP account instead of deleting it!

sign

Once the POP account is deactivated, refer to this other guide to configure your email address in Apple Mail, in IMAP.

Once you have finished, all you have to do is drag the messages present in your POP account hierarchy to the hierarchy of the new IMAP account.

This guide explains how to move an existing website within an Infomaniak Web Hosting to another Infomaniak Web Hosting.

 

Preamble

  • There are not many turnkey solutions to move a website:
    • Generally, few hosts offer the export or import of a complete site with its databases.
    • This is mainly due to the fact that there are many ways to build a site and just as many languages that are largely incompatible with each other.
  • However, if the site to be transferred is built with WordPress, refer to this other guide illustrating a simplified solution.
  • It is also possible to move a complete Web Hosting (see below).
  • If necessary, local partners referenced by Infomaniak can handle these procedures: launch a free call for tenders; they take care of everything, freeing you from technical details — also discover the role of the host.

 

Manual solution: example of site transfer

To do this manually, you need to:

  • retrieve the web data as well as the associated databases,
  • republish this on a site created on the destination web hosting,
  • and if the associated domain name is identical, the first site must be deleted or renamed.

For the rest, here is an example of how to proceed:

  1. Order the other Web Hosting / Cloud Server if you haven't already.
  2. Create a "fake site" on this new hosting (for example dev.domain.xyz - see below).
  3. Manually copy your data in FTP and MySQL (export / import).
  4. Adapt your site if necessary (database address, etc.).
  5. Once you are satisfied with the "new site", delete the old one.
  6. Change the name of the new site to give it its real name.

An alternative is, at point 2 above, to work with the alias www. that you can detach beforehand from your current site. Indeed, the alias www(.domain.xyz) is often installed as an alias of your site, and it is enough to detach it, which allows the creation of a site on the other hosting with the name www.domain.xyz (do not forget, at point 6, to add your alias of type "domain.xyz" without the www to this new site).

 

Moving entire Web Hostings

There is an automated way to move an Infomaniak Web Hosting to:

A Starter hosting cannot be moved but it can be converted.

So once the languages have been determined and classified in the upper part (don't forget to save your changes at the bottom of the page), activate the menu to give the visitor the choice of language via a dropdown menu at the top of the page:

 

Manually translated page

It is possible to propose a page (unique, per language) manually prepared in advance, to which the visitor will be redirected when they choose a language different from the main language via the language selection dropdown menu (see above).

To do this, you need to edit the desired language by clicking on the pencil icon ✎ and then clicking on the second radio button next to the field that allows you to specify the URL of your translated page:

It is therefore possible to write a page per language in advance. To finish, you should ideally hide this type of page from your main menu:
