Getting Started After Magento Deployment¶

After your order is paid, you'll receive an email notification to the address registered during checkout, informing you that your server is ready for use. This email will include the VPS IP address, as well as login credentials for connection. Our company's clients manage their servers through a control panel and API — Invapi.

You'll find your authorization details here:

• Login - Sent to your email address after the server is ready for use following software deployment.
• Password - Sent to your email address after the server is ready for use following software deployment.

Configuring Access to the Magento Admin Panel via Web Interface¶

The link to the admin panel is unique and generated during the installation process. To find it, execute the following command:

bin/magento info:adminuri

from the /var/www/html/magento2 directory.

• The full admin panel URL will look like this: https://magento{server_id}.hostkey.in/admin_{unique_id};
• Admin panel login credentials: admin / password provided in the deployment email.

The administrator email address is set to [email protected].

Accessing Your Magento Database¶
