Member Help :: WWW Mini HOWTO

Karim Nassar, October 2002

As member of CCL, you are entitled to your very own web areas. The following is information you might find useful:

  • You are entitled to a personal web page. To use this, create a ~/public_html directory and put accessible documents there. Your website address will be: http://denali.cse.nau.edu/~<your-login>.
  • There is also a directory for your team in /www/Groupware/<group>, located at http://denali.cse.nau.edu/Groupware/<groupname>.
  • You must put a page called index.html in any directory for it to be accessible. Denali is configured to not allow directory listings.
  • Keep in mind that by default, every file you create will have rwxrwxr-x permissions. That means that the entire team has stong enough permissions to ruin your work unless you explicitly change it. Normally this is what you want, but you can read the umask, chmod, chown, and chgrp man pages for more information on protecting your private files.
  • For examples, one can view the past groupware projects located on the server in /www/Groupware and on the web on the Past Projects page.
