How to Create a Personal Home Page

Persons who have a UNIX login account in the Department of Computer Science can
create a personal home page on the World Wide Web as follows:
-
Create a subdirectory named public_html (you must use this name
exactly) under your home directory and give read permission to any user.
Here are the steps:
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 a 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
World Wide 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.
Your "public_html" directory is your virtual document root that is
accessed whenever the URL "http://www.cs.unc.edu/~user_name/" is used.
After you have created your home page, if you are faculty, staff, or a
departmental guest (visiting researchers, postdoctoral scholars), you should send e-mail to pubs so that your page can be linked to the
faculty page,
staff page, or
visiting researchers page.
