Setting up your Hivium server
Once you've configured your repository, you'll need to connect to your Hivium server. Head to Servers & Groups, and click the New Server button at the top of the screen. Start by entering a name, and choosing SSH/SFTP as the protocol.
To find your SSH credentials:
- Log into your Hivium Control Panel
- Navigate to "Servers" or "Hosting Management" section
- Select your specific server
- Go to "Access" or "SSH" settings
- Generate or view SSH credentials
Important Hivium SSH Access Notes:
- SSH access is standard for Hivium Servers
- Steps to enable SSH:
- Log into Hivium Control Panel
- Configure firewall settings
- Ensure SSH (port 22) is allowed
- Add SSH key to your instance
- Use SSH keys for enhanced security
- Two-factor authentication recommended
Typical Hivium Server Formats:
- Server Instance:
xx.xx.xx.xx
(IP address) - Hostname: Depends on your specific Hivium configuration
You can use an SSH key instead of a password by taking the SSH key in your DeployHQ server configuration page and pasting it in your Hivium server's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
.
Connection Troubleshooting:
- Verify firewall allows SSH
- Confirm correct IP or hostname
- Ensure you're using the correct username (typically
root
or server-specific username) - Check network security settings
- Validate credentials in Hivium console
Typical Web Application Path:
- Standard Deployment:
/var/www/yourdomain/
- Web Root:
/var/www/yourdomain/htdocs/
Within Deployment options, you can choose to automatically deploy your server and specify a Deployment subdirectory if needed.
