WebGUI 7.x Administrators Guide
This guide was written for you, the Administrator. You won’t find yourself wading through a bunch of end user or programmer documentation. Instead, this book was carefully constructed with just the nuggets of knowledge you’ll care about to get your job done as quickly, robustly, and securely as possible.
This guide assumes that you have at least a good familiarity with Linux® or Unix®. Though there are some chapters that specifically mention Microsoft Windows®, the majority of WebGUI users, and therefore the majority of this book, use examples from a *nix environment. However, almost everything should translated neatly from *nix into Windows; for example, if you see /data, then it would be c:\data in Windows.
