How to create a home page on the GL cluster.

• Make your home directory and www directory publically executable. This allows the web server access to your home page.
  • cd
  • mkdir www
  • chmod a+x . www
• Once that is done, you need to create a file called index.html. To get you started, execute the following commands:
  
  • cd www
    
  • cp ~vijay/www/ucs/homepage/example.html index.html
    
  • chmod a+r index.html
    
  This last command makes the index.html file world readable so they can access the file.

Once that is done, you can edit the index.html file and change it to whatever you want it to say. The best way to learn how to do html is by viewing other peoples sources. Find a WWW page you like and execute the view source command from your browser and examine the code to see how they implemented the features that you find interesting.

To test if your home page shows up, after following the above instructions go to the GL WWW server with the following URL:

http://www.gl.umbc.edu/~yourusername

Eg. to access my home page I would do the following:

http://www.gl.umbc.edu/~vijay

Homepage vijay@umbc.edu
