How to Create a Personal Home Page

• Log in to a UNIX system and create a subdirectory named public_html (You must use this name exactly.) under your home directory and give read permission to any user, as follows:

    cd                                  (takes you to your home directory)
    mkdir public_html                   (create your web root data area)
    fs sa public_html cs-machines rl    (sets proper AFS file permissions)

• In your public_html subdirectory, using your favorite text editor or an html editor, create a file called index.html. (You must use this name exactly.) This file may contain whatever you want to place on the web, and it must use HTML (hypertext markup language) to specify formatting or links to other pages.
• Ensure that "world" has read access to the file by executing

    chmod 644 index.html

• To access your web page use the URL http://www.cs.unc.edu/~user_name/

where "user_name" is your UNIX login account name.
