$api_access_key = "abc123";
The abc123 in the above should be replaced with a random series of letters and numbers, you can think of it like a second password, and that same value is what you'll need to enter into the Access Key field on your phone

It dissapears when you click it on purpose, this means it is activated.
Why can't you do
vi configuration.php
and then change that $api_access_key ?
This works: http://gotossh.com/
Then: AjaxTerm.

Nano doesn't work? Use vi
Agreed
I hate it
Because you don't know how to use it.
@shovenose,
It seems you are ignoring power of Hackers Keyboard. Use it and it has all keys you need to operate nano inside ConnectBot.
Alternatively press On-screen Ctrl key (in ConnectBot) and then press any key to simulate Ctrl+Key combination. ConnectBot cursor will change when the On-screen Ctrl Key is pressed.
Shovenose, shutdown shovehost until you learn vi and how to configure ssh
@texteditor I don't think I'm going to give you the satisfaction of me closing down a profitable enterprise with hundreds if customers. Not counting VPS, just web hosting, we server tens of millions of page views a month.
sometimes its a combination of volume +-.
and how about run a rdp vpa which is exclusively for accessing the server later(for a backup if we have problem like this)
I'm just saying, might wanna learn your stuff before time inevitably shuts it down for you
lol, I have a dream too sometimes
Seems that the bar for entry into the hosting business is set too low sometimes.
I normally stay out of these types of things but REALLY? You should never use the same password twice. I mean I do for forums and such but critical stuff? Also you still have passwords enabled in SSH?
How do you not have access to your servers where ever you are? If I'm going somewhere where I know my phone might not get reception or will go flat I always take a laptop and broadband dongle. If you don't have access to your servers how do you expect you will fix things or even help your customers?
vi is just as easy to use as nano. If you don't know how to use both you are really in the wrong business. I would suggest you buy a beginners guide to Linux book and read ALL of it. I'm not ashamed to say that I have one and a lot more others on my bookshelf. They are an interesting read and sometimes a much quicker reference than the internet.
@shovenose you have a responsibility to your customers. Stand by it.
That's the end of my rant. If you got this far through, thank you
Also why is this in the Offers section?
EDIT: Just realised it's probably so he doesn't get more embarrassed. As these don't get pushed to the top....
@trewq I didn't do it on purpose. Ever heard of a mistake?
Fixed it for you
Touch the screen.
Or, use Hacker's Keyboard or get a device w/hardware keyboard.
Bluetooth keyboards for your phone are cheap on DealExtreme or eBay
If you must use a PC, try tethering your phone, or setting up an SSH tunnel or VPN.
Use liftoff software's gateone.
Amazing piece of software.

And this guy runs a hosting company?
@vld no. It is not a hosting company. It is an enterprise.
..
How can I do this now?
Have you considered using managed hosting? If you signed up for managed hosting they'd take care of software installation for you so you wouldn't have to worry about complicated things like license keys, editing configuration files, and how to use SSH. I hear that KnownHost is supposed to be really good. Check the offers section on WHT for coupons.
Passwords for SSH? Ever heard of ssh keys? And to answer your question, Ajenti has a very nice web console. You could also run ssh on port 443, even with https via port multiplexing: http://www.rutschle.net/tech/sslh
Possibly the best, simplest thing you can security-wise.
My PasswordSafe DB has more 300 entries...
This made my day.
Never make up your own password, use Keepass or Lastpass or grc.com to generate them.
Also, don't rely on third-party software for complete security.
Lastly, "randomized" passwords aren't more secure. Using 2+ phrases for a password, separated by a character or more (like spaces) is more secure, easier to remember, and saner.
Yeah I agree. It's going to be harder to brute force a few phrases than it is to brute force a bunch of random characters.

Yep @trewq, exactly!
