Creating
your own personal home page
ACCC runs Web servers
on Icarus and Tigger, which makes it easy for anyone with an account on
any of these systems to publish home pages and other hypermedia. Commercial
pages and those containing inappropriate materials are not permitted.
The steps required
for publishing a Web page are:
- Develop HTML documents,
graphic files, etc. on a computer of your preference, like a Windows
PC or a Macintosh.
- Test your hypermedia
work locally, opening your files on the hard drive with a browser.
- Obtain a computer
account on a machine running a Web server, e.g. Icarus.
- On Icarus (or Tigger)
create the special directory public_html, if not there already.
Make sure its permissions allow people to read and execute the folder
by issuing the command chmod a+rx public_html.
- Upload your HTML
and other hypermedia files to the public_html directory.
- Make sure all public_html
files and subdirectories are readable and executable to the public:
go (cd) to public_html and issue the UNIX command: chmod
a+rx *
- Try your pages
on the Web. The URL would be:
 http://www.uic.edu/~netid/filepath
where netid is your Icarus/Tigger login netid and filepath
is the path and name of you HTML file. For example:
http://www.uic.edu/~jsmith99/home.html
- Keep improving
your Web pages and keep them up-to-date.
