CREATE YOUR HOME PAGE
  1. Log into your Cord/Klingon/Unix/ETapps.
  2. Type cd .. to change directories up one level.
  3. Type chmod 755 username to allow others read and execute access to your directory.
  4. Type cd username to change back to your own directory.
  5. Type mkdir public_html to create a sub-direcotry for your web pages. Our web server requires all web pages be in the public_html directory. *For ETapps, mkdir www instead of public_html
  6. Type chmod 755 public_html to set the permissions on that directory.
  7. Create your home page and place it in your www directory. This page should be called index.htm or index.html (or home.html on Cord and Unix). This file can be developed with a text editor, word processor, or HTML editor. If using a word processor (MSWord, Word Perfect etc.) the file should be saved as a text only file.
  8. The index.HTML, or home.html file and all other files in the www or public_html directory that you want others to view must have the correct permissions. Use chmod 755 * for all files or chmod 755 filename for a specific file.
  9. Check your web page access by using a Web client such as Netscape from a desktop system on the internet. Your URL is:
    On ETapps: http://php.engr.iupui.edu/~username/
    On Klingon: http://www.cs.iupui.edu/~username/
    On Unix: http://www.iupui.edu/~username/
    On Cord: http://php.iupui.edu/~username/
