Creating a Webpage on the CS Ugrad Net

Revision as of 19:45, 1 October 2013 by Steve410 (talk | contribs)

The page applies to CS Undergrad Students (and Faculty, TAs, etc. that want to specifically post webpages on the CS Ugrad network).

Accessing your webpage

use: 

http://ugrad.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.)

Follows these instructions step-by-step.

Log into a Undergrad 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.


Additional Notes

If you have further issues, please e-mail the support@cs.jhu.edu with a complete description of your problem and the computer you're logged into to create your webpage.
