SnailyCAD

Before Starting Your CAD

Once you have installed the CAD, you need to enter in the ports for the CAD and the API.

Client Port

info

The client port is the port that the CAD will be accessed on. This port is the port that you will enter into your web browser to access the CAD.

In the Startup tab, you will see a field called Client Port. Go to the Network tab, and copy the port that says Primary. Then paste that port into the Client Port field in the Startup tab.

API Port

info

The API port is the port that the CAD will use to communicate with the server and any other resources you have.

To do this create another allocation for the CAD. Go to the Network tab, then click the NEW ALLOCATION button. Then go to the Startup tab, and paste the new allocation into the API Port field.

Domain Setup

Our Domain

If you are using our domain, very little work need to be done.
Just make sure that:

• the Domain field in the Startup tab is set to afkhosting.win.
• the CLIENT URL is set to the Address in the Console tab.
• the API URL is set to the Address in the Console tab with the port that you entered in the API Port field in the Startup tab.

caution

Both the CLIENT URL and the API URL fields need to have

http://

in front of the address.
Example: http://us1.afkhosting.win:39600

Create a ticket in the following format:

I would like to setup a domain for my SnailyCAD.

Client URL (The URL that you will access the CAD on): [Your Client URL]
API URL (The URL that the CAD will use to communicate with the server): [Your API URL]
Panel URL (The URL for your server on our panel): [Your Panel URL]

Please ensure that you provide accurate and complete information in the ticket. Here is a brief explanation of each field:

• Title: This should be "SnailyCAD Domain Setup" to help us quickly identify the purpose of your request.
• Description: A brief description of your request. You can use the provided text or add any additional details you think are necessary.

Additionally, you will need access to your domain's DNS records. You will need to create two CNAME records pointing to our servers, one for the client URL and one for the API URL. We will provide you with the necessary information to set up these records once we receive your ticket.

Once you have submitted the ticket with the required information, our team will set up the domain on our server. We aim to complete the setup within 24 hours. If there are any issues or additional information is needed, we will contact you through the ticketing system.
