Publishing Web Pages

Topics:



Using your Administrative Web account to publish on the web

Your account will be set up with a directory, www, as well as subdirectories, htdocs and cgi-bin. These directories are set up with the appropriate permissions.

  • Move into your www directory. Create your home page in a file named "index.html" by using a unix text editor (vi or emacs) or upload it from your own PC or Mac and place it in this directory. (the "index.html" document will be displayed by default when anyone accesses your www directory) Make the file readable by everyone.
    % cd www
    (Create or upload your index.html file)
    % chmod a+r index.html
  • If you have any subsequent subdirectories or files in your public_html that contain information you want published on your web page, they will all need these permissions:

    • For directories:
      % chmod go+x directory_name
    • For files:
      % chmod a+r file_name
