To set up a web page you must have a collection of HTML files that are the content of your pages. To create these, you'll need to know how to write HTML. It's quite easy to learn HTML. Take a look at the pages for the HTML Class that we gave a while ago for some places to start.
So if you have the HTML and other files for your web page, how do you get it up on the LPL web pages?
Begin by logging in to your LPL UNIX account. This is probably
where you get your e-mail. In your home directory on LPL
(the directory that you're in when you log in)
you must create a directory called
public_html (you can do this with the command
mkdir public_html). You have to make this
directory world readable, so that everyone can see your
webpage. To do this, you can use the command chmod
a+r public_html, from your home directory.
Now put all of the HTML files into this directory
(or make more directories under this), and you'll be
able to see them on the web.
The address of your new web pages will be:
http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/~username
where username is your username.
For example, the web address for rbeyer's web page is
http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/~rbeyer.
Those are the basics! If you have questions, please email webmaster@lpl.arizona.edu.
