The page applies to CS Faculty, Grad Students, Staff, Researchers and Post Docs.

Accessing your webpage

use: 

http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~username

to access your main user webpage.


Creating your webpage: Setting up your index.html file

(NOTE: where you see “username”, replace that with your... username.)

Please follow these instructions step-by-step.

Log into a Grad Net Linux machine, and open a terminal window

chmod 701 ~username (don’t forget the ~ )

mkdir public_html (NOTE: You might already have this directory.)

chmod 701 public_html

cd public_html

Create/Edit index.html with your favorite editor.

Follow the template below for your index.html file:

(NOTE: indenting makes your source more readable, but is not required and will not affect the webpage itself.) 

<html>
       <head>
                   <title>  Title of my webpage  </title>
       </head>
                        <body>
                                    This is a test!
                        </body>
</html>

Save and exit from your editor.

chmod 604 index.html

Now check your work. Does it work? If you have problems, check your permissions again.

Please be very careful changing your top-level home directory permissions.
