The TYPO3 Toolkit makes it easier to manage TYPO3 projects in the cloud hosting plans. You can access the toolkit in the dashboard of your domain in the customer menu (Plesk).
The TYPO3 Toolkit is constantly being developed and currently contains the following functions:
- Install TYPO3 sample template with just a few clicks
- Manage existing TYPO3 projects (e.g. activate or deactivate maintenance mode and users, create new users).
- Create new admin users.
Create new TYPO3 project with sample template
To create a new TYPO3 project, you first need a domain or subdomain that does not yet contain a project. Place the document root of your domain in the directory where the project will later be installed. We recommend a directory under httpdocs/typo3cms (e.g. httpdocs/typo3cms/name-of-domain.com or httpdocs/typo3cms/project2).
Before installing the TYPO3 project, an SSL certificate should be created (menu item Security->SSL/TLS Certificates).
Then go to the dashboard of the domain for which the sample template is to be installed in your customer menu under "Websites & Domains". Then click on "TYPO3 Toolkit" under "Developer tools" and then on "Install".
Select the entry "Sample template" under "Type". Default user names and passwords are displayed, which can be changed if required. The password can be displayed by clicking on the eye symbol.
Important: If you do not enter a password manually, save the password that is automatically generated, as you will not be able to view it later.
Then click on "Install". The project including the database and the site configuration will now be created automatically.
Tip: If you also use dots or hyphens in the user name, you make it even more difficult for hackers to access your backend.
After a few seconds, the sample template is ready.
Manage existing project
If you have already installed a TYPO3 project under the domain, you will see the view shown in the images.
