Creating a Webpage on the CS Grad Net
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
IMPORTANT! You might find you already have a public_html directory with certain files within it. Please do not delete any of these files, as they are used by the CS webserver.
(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.
