— site-specific linux user account
I think victan6 is my dreamhost account name, but the linux account is the one used for ftp, ssh etc.
FTP&SshUsers -> ManageUsers -> then create a new (linux?) user with bash and ssh. Then attach the site to this user account.
Domains -> manageDomains -> find the user and click on the username ..
— blog users # found on the wp-admin -> left panel
I installed wordpress on my website tanbinvest.dreamhosters.com. I tried logging in on the admin site but I think the login id (tanbinvest_4hoeqd) was generated…hard to remember but immutable 🙁 Solution:
- Don’t rely on email address update as it is unreliable. (Perhaps the system can’t send out email)
- log in from dhost panel (panel->domains->websites->pick one site->Wordpress button) to wp-admin, then create a dummy user with a password + a dummy email addr
- Then re-login as the dummy so as to delete the generated user name
- Then create a proper user name (3rd user) having the gmail address, and log in as him.
- delete all unneeded users.
