Creating a Personal Web Page
To create a personal web page accessible through the CISE Department Web Server, follow these instructions.
Note: This document assumes the reader has sufficient knowledge of HTML to create a valid page. For further information, consult NCSA's Beginner's Guide to HTML.
- Create a directory named public_html in your directory
(.i.e ~/public_html). This directory will contain all
your hypertext documents written in HTML.
- Make sure the directory is at least executable by the group
and others (i.e.
drwx--x--xordrwxr-xr-x). - Your home directory must be at least executable by the
group and others (i.e.
drwx--x--xordrwxr-xr-x)
- Make sure the directory is at least executable by the group
and others (i.e.
- In this ~/public_html directory, create a file called index.html. Edit this file as you wish, but please try to use proper HTML. (Note: Other index types are permitted, but you don't need to worry about them yet.)
- Make sure this file (and all others you reference) is readable
by the group and others (i.e.
-rw-r--r--). To do this, type:chmod 711 ~ chmod 755 ~/public_html chmod 644 ~/public_html/index.html
You will need to type:chmod 644 [file]
for any other files that you create in your~/public_htmldirectory. - The URL for your home page will be simply
http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~USERNAME/where USERNAME is your username.
Once created, the system should include your page in the list of CISE Users within 24 hours.
